Robot teachers If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and
teachers at the top of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs
need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases,
they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more
comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for
robots in education after all ?

British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the
classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will
be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals.
Then they will adapt the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots
will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world,
there aren’t enough teachers and 9–16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That
problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get stressed, or
tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.

Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world are
leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not ‘Will robots
replace teachers?’ but ‘How can robots help teachers?’ Office workers can use software to do things
like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time
doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut
the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and
energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

Madagascar –
When to go Madagascar has two seasons, a warm, wet season from November to April, and a cooler
dry season between May and October. However, different parts of the country have very different
weather.

The east coast is hotter and wetter, with up to 4000mm of rainfall per year. In the rainy season, there
are strong winds, and these can cause a lot of damage. Avoid visiting eastern Madagascar between
January and March because the weather can make road travel very difficult.

The dry season is cooler and more pleasant. The high, central part of the country is much drier and
cooler. About 1,400 mm of rain falls in the rainy season, with some thunderstorms, but the summer is
usually sunny and dry, but it can be cold, especially in the mornings, with freezing showers, and it may
snow in mountain areas above 2,400m, and even stay there for several days.

The west coast is the driest part of the island. Here, the winter months are pleasant with little rain,
cooler temperatures and blue skies. The summers can be extremely hot, especially in the southwest.
This part of the country is semi-desert, and only gets around 300mm of rain per year.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince


After nearly two years of waiting the anticipation alone is enough to ruin Harry Potter before it even
gets published. Fans of the wizarding boy and his adventures are often so strung out for a new book
that they tend to build up the greatness of the writing and it has to be hard to continuously live up to
those high expectations time and again. Well, J.K. Rowling has lived up to the expectation for the 6th
time in her newest addition to the series " Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince" .
SMPIT Al Qudwah Islamic Boarding School Depok_Armiati
I have to admit I was immediately thrown for a loop as the new novel was presented in a different way.
Previously every single book started and basically concluded the same way.

Each book starts out as Harry is miserably surviving the summer at the Dursley's. He has a problem and
they move on to school the main story always takes place here and then after the conflict is resolved it
peacefully concludes with all the kids promising to write over the summer as they head off once more
to spend the summers at home. This book didn't even get to Harry or the Dursley's house until the
second chapter.

The reader immediately found them selves thrown into a tumultuous time in both Britain and the
Wizarding world. This change hooked you for sure , which is the ultimate goal, but at the same time set
an uncomfortable feeling of change where that predictability from the other novels was gone.

This book finds the characters turning 16 so they are getting up there in age and their behavior is
starting to reflect it. They are suddenly interested in the opposite sex and spend time "snogging" which
is kissing.

Of course this is behavior today seen in 12 year olds but still I found it quite pathetic and unsettling as
an adult reading the book . I have no doubt a certain population of youngsters at the right age will be
begging for more "snogging". But, whatever! This book answers a lot of questions and goes deep into
the past to help Harry understand his opponent better so that he may learn how to defeat him. The book
also progresses into what I feel is the creepiest scenes by far. Even as an adult , I found my self
uncomfortably scared reading some of the trials Harry had to go through in this book . And yes,
someone very important dies. This has changed the face of Harry Potter forever and the book takes a
decidedly different turn.

The reader is left not knowing who to trust and even whether Hogwarts will exist for the next school
year. In any event Harry and his faithful Friends don't intend to return for their final year! Yes , they
will become drop outs in their mission to ultimately end the rein of terror brought about by Lord
Voldemort and his following. Some one has to do it .

So that sets the stage for book 7. Just in case you are a robotic machine and were not all ready hooked,
this book leaves you no other choice but to continue when book 7 is issued to actually find out how it
all ends , because this book offers no real conclusion. That is most unsettling to have that feeling of no
conclusion knowing it will most likely be another long two year wait for the next book.

In conclusion , although drastically different this is no exception to the wonderful work of J.K.
Rowling. You will not put this book down and wish you had taken longer to read it once your done
because it is a long wait we are looking at for the next Harry Potter!

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince


After nearly two years of waiting the anticipation alone is enough to ruin Harry Potter
before it even gets published. Fans of the wizarding boy and his adventures are often so
strung out for a new book that they tend to build up the greatness of the writing and it has
to be hard to continuously live up to those high expectations time and again. Well, J.K.
Rowling has lived up to the expectation for the 6th time in her newest addition to the series
" Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince" .
I have to admit I was immediately thrown for a loop as the new novel was presented in a
different way. Previously every single book started and basically concluded the same way.
Each book starts out as Harry is miserably surviving the summer at the Dursley's. He has a
problem and they move on to school the main story always takes place here and then after
the conflict is resolved it peacefully concludes with all the kids promising to write over the
summer as they head off once more to spend the summers at home. This book didn't even
get to Harry or the Dursley's house until the second chapter.
The reader immediately found them selves thrown into a tumultuous time in both Britain
and the Wizarding world. This change hooked you for sure , which is the ultimate goal, but
at the same time set an uncomfortable feeling of change where that predictability from the
other novels was gone.
This book finds the characters turning 16 so they are getting up there in age and their
behavior is starting to reflect it. They are suddenly interested in the opposite sex and
spend time "snogging" which is kissing.
Of course this is behavior today seen in 12 year olds but still I found it quite pathetic and
unsettling as an adult reading the book . I have no doubt a certain population of youngsters
at the right age will be begging for more "snogging". But, whatever! This book answers a
lot of questions and goes deep into the past to help Harry understand his opponent better
so that he may learn how to defeat him. The book also progresses into what I feel is the
creepiest scenes by far. Even as an adult , I found my self uncomfortably scared reading
some of the trials Harry had to go through in this book . And yes, someone very important
dies. This has changed the face of Harry Potter forever and the book takes a decidedly
different turn.
The reader is left not knowing who to trust and even whether Hogwarts will exist for the
next school year. In any event Harry and his faithful Friends don't intend to return for their
final year! Yes , they will become drop outs in their mission to ultimately end the rein of
terror brought about by Lord Voldemort and his following. Some one has to do it .
So that sets the stage for book 7. Just in case you are a robotic machine and were not all
ready hooked, this book leaves you no other choice but to continue when book 7 is issued
to actually find out how it all ends , because this book offers no real conclusion. That is
most unsettling to have that feeling of no conclusion knowing it will most likely be another
long two year wait for the next book.
In conclusion , although drastically different this is no exception to the wonderful work of
J.K. Rowling. You will not put this book down and wish you had taken longer to read it
once your done because it is a long wait we are looking at for the next Harry Potter!
