It has more to do with the way we measure academic success, politicians exercising their power, maintaining the status quo. Not much on the quality of education.

I believe frontal lessons + tests to be a terrible way to learn for roughly half of the kids and they would definitely thrive with more self directed learning (think project based learning).

There are other problems linked to not physical attending schools (eg. socialising with peers, having a routine based on locations and activities) but this robot doesn't solve that as well
