I think I should clarify. Kids have to figure out social interaction, but generally like you say, the adults make sure that it’s in a relatively controlled environment with supervision. A mostly hands-off approach with some guidance/nudging is probably the best way of teaching (in my opinion). Sure, we live in a society. I think we all understand that. Technology is there to facilitate the transmission of teaching. There will always be a group that creates the curriculum, but students don’t necessarily need to have an actual person at the intake point. So while I agree that you can’t rely solely on technology, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t invest in it, which I fear is what’s being implied by your statement. As a purely practical example, right now the average current ratio between teachers and students is still somewhere around 30:1 or 20:1, which pretty much makes it impossible for consistent individualized attention. Ideally we could get to a 1:1 ratio, but that’s unrealistic. Effective use of technology though can be used to dramatically improve the leverage and reach of a teacher such that a lower ratio could be simulated in some sense. Not perfect, but it sure would help a lot.
