Based on my scenario from Blog Entry #5 about teachers and classrooms being replaced by online and self-instruction, there might be a couple things the country can do to prevent the problem or reduce the impact of so many unemployed people.
Having students think and feel differently about classroom instruction is the best way to start a solution to this possible problem. If students are taught about the importance of one-on-one instruction and the benefits it can have on them, they will most likely rather stay in a physical classroom. Although many students feel like they are capable of self instruction, nothing is better and more beneficial than having teachers motivate and support students for academic achievement. A lot of students can become unmotivated by realizing that penalties do not seem as severe when the computer only warns them about a deadline. I think physical communication among students and teachers is vital in student success. Before students are able to learn content they must first feel comfortable with their surroundings and feel like there are others who are willing to help around them like their classmates in order to perform well in assignments and tests.
The government can also come up with a law in which every student is allowed to take a maximum of two online classes per semester rather than have the option to take all online classes. This will limit students from completely removing themselves from classrooms. Not only will teachers benefit by always being guaranteed to have enough students but will also help students deal with real-world situations. A lot of the times people forget that physical instruction is needed to work with a student's communication and interaction to prepare them for their future jobs and real-life occurrences.
Regardless of how much technology advances throughout the years there will still be a need for teachers because computers cannot replace a good teacher. Teachers will always be needed to monitor students in their learning.
