These days, many opine that subjects like art, sports, and music should be replaced with more technology-related subjects. I disagree with this opinion as I believe that while it is important for students to be proficient in technology, it should not come at the expense of the arts and sports.

As computers are being used more and more in education, there will be soon no role for teachers in the classroom. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
