Nowadays, computer is rapidly growing in its popularity in education for its marvelous functions. However, the problem, teacher and computer, which is more important for students, has aroused wide concern in public. I am surprised when I hear people saying that teachers are no longer important in education with the advent of computers. Nothing can replace teacher’s role in the development of students.

Teachers can benefit students in many ways that computers cannot. Indeed teachers often bring students a host of knowledge and ideas out of text books, such as ethics, issues in human behavior and such kind of things. Teachers are usually serving as the guide for students, a role which can never be performed by computers. There are plenty of vivid examples. When I was studying in the high school, one of my teachers helped me with my study and taught me how to deal with difficulties in my life as well. These benefits are impossible to be gained from computers.

It is undeniable that computers do open the frontiers of the development of education. But we should notice the fact that young students are more vulnerable to the adverse influence of computers. Juveniles usually lack in the sense of judgment to tell right from wrong. So they may be more likely to be distracted from study by the lure that comes along with computers. Therefore, teachers are superior to computers in cultivating students.

All in all, in fostering young people, I firmly take the side with the opinion that teachers can never give way to computers. As is so often pointed out, the significant thing is to make computers facilitate teachers' job.
