It sounds like you have no idea about what teachers actually do and how they interact with students.

What teachers could do. A lot of them are not doing anything special and just repeat their low quality teaching material. But sure some are genuinely trying to help students understand the topic, be open about the world and even help them in their personal issues. We have excellent tools now for the crude information transmission that could relieve teachers from that annoying part of the job and would allow them to really focus on helping the students in all their dimensions. And that's the part that AI and learning technologies are not able to replace for now if ever. Seeing teachers as pure information providers is a mistake that I have seen in students, parents, teachers and school directors unfortunately, and this usually have disastrous results on students that ripple far in their future.
