A child asks to buy a robot that checks homework. Or says that "Alice" explains math better than the teacher. What lies behind this? Are children tired of live teachers? Or are robots really better? In 2026, when artificial intelligence has penetrated schools, this question becomes more relevant. We tell you why children dream of robot teachers.

It can explain fractions at 10 pm when a child's inspiration "fired." It's ready to help with homework at any time. There's no need to wait for Monday. Parents often can't help (they don't remember math themselves). A robot is a way out. Of course, a robot won't replace live communication. But it's ideal for solving examples. Lack of bullying In school, children can be teased for mistakes, mocked. A robot isn't a person, it won't mock. It provides a protected environment: a child can ex ...
