Passage (Questions 96-100)
Artificial intelligence is slowly finding its way into classrooms. Adaptive learning software can now track how a student solves problems and offer easier or harder exercises accordingly, something a single teacher with forty students cannot do for every child. Automated tools also mark objective tests in seconds, freeing teachers to spend more time on discussion and mentoring. However, educators warn against excessive reliance on such tools. A machine can detect that an answer is wrong but rarely understands why a child is confused, and it cannot offer the encouragement that a teacher gives with a smile. Moreover, if students begin to depend on software to produce essays and solve problems, their own reasoning skills may weaken. Experts therefore recommend that technology should assist teachers, not replace them, and that schools should teach pupils to question and verify what a machine tells them.
