I agree.

All of that stuff is available online but going to a place to work on it specifically is still important. Even as the pedagogy changes there still needs to be a place away from home and work and toys to learn how to study and to study.

May I ask why you agree? What makes ai a better teacher than a human at the primary school level?

Any level. Early level and the kids may not even know what questions to ask and they certainly can't fact check the AI. Late level and you need your own knowledge base to think critically and develop new things and use old things in new ways.
