The education system, schooling, all that becomes more of a social function in that case. Humans evolved to be around other humans; we are social apes, and replacing that with technology— even very humanlike technology— is insufficient for a child's behavioral and psychological wellbeing. Personal education (AI tutors) might replace "true" school, but the way we've implemented schooling in our society fits our nature well.

This is why I don't see school going away. The true point of school on a fundamental level is to put kids into community associations for general education; it's only our Prussian-style education system that focuses heavily on labor capabilities and aptitude training, and thus that aspect of schooling will likely change. What we call schools will almost certainly evolve into community functions.
