I don't think it can. I have some experience in teaching and one of the worst issues I initially had was that you can't believe how messed the knowledge can be in heads of the kids. They literally mess everything – topics, words, culture, personal experience. Everything. To teach kids effectively you have to have a lot of background knowledge – from their family background to the info from teacher in previous class and you have to adapt constantly.

People who are talking about automation of education are grown up people who think that all people think structurally and just lack the specific knowledge. Kids actually don't do it.
