A Robot In Every Korean Kindergarten By 2013?
kkleiner writes "Elementary school children in Korea in the cities of Masan and Daegu are among the first to be exposed to EngKey, a robotic teacher. The arrival of EngKey to Masan and Daegu is just a small step in the mechanization of Korean classrooms: the Education Ministry wants all 8400 kindergartens in the nation to have robotic instructors by the end of 2013. Plans are already under way to place 830 bots in preschools by year's end. EngKey can hold scripted conversations with students to help them improve their language skills, or a modified version can act as a telepresence tool to allow distant teachers to interact with children."
Please take your strawman elsewhere. The GP clearly only said that Korean kids are animals, not that all Koreans are like inanimate objects. Also, why assume the GP is white, and a "dude"? For all you know, he or she may be also be Japanese (Korea is a province of Japan, right)?
Maybe you should have paid closer attention to Reading Comprehension FunBot #6237?
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
Shut the fuck up, you nonce.
