I've thought about this for a while. We are still teaching kids largely like we did in Victorian times.
What we need to do is teach young people how to think and how to ascertain new information, synthesise it, and disseminate it. Not what to think. We still focus on teaching facts - this is what robots can do easily.
What they can do less well is creativity, humour , sensitivity , perception , nuance. We need to be orienting education to develop emotional intelligence , empathy, social skills, public speaking.
Robots can do the dull , dangerous , dirty, and the dear (expensive). We will still want people in a range of jobs, and there are plenty of jobs that where we need the human touch.
