What happened
A school district in New York has brought in a humanoid robot named Sally to work as a teaching assistant. Sally helps out in the classroom and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer students' homework questions — something no human teacher can offer.
Why it matters
The context behind the story.
For parents and students, this could sound exciting or alarming depending on your point of view. On one hand, every kid gets access to a patient, always-available tutor regardless of their family's income. On the other hand, it raises real questions about the role of human connection in education and what we actually want schools to be.
Takeaway
Your kid's next study buddy might not need sleep — or a salary.
