Little kids are being introduced to a robotic classmate, & as far as I know, they are accepting ROBOVIE as just another student. 10 images are available, along with several paragraphs:

Japanese elementary school enrolls robot exchange student

Can't believe that the day of Astro Boy technology are slowly inching in. I can't wait until the day robots and humans can walk without discrimination (same with the GLBT community).

That's really cool! I would love to have a robot student in my class. It would be so cool.

This is interesting

Instead of giving real kids with urgent need of education education, they give it to a robot. Well done Japan. You deserve a medal.

So, Mr., are you saying that they are neglecting real kids?

I’m not too sure what you mean by this. In Japan, elementary education is compulsory and 99% of the population is literate.

I'm not just talking about Japanese kids.

Yes?

No offense, but why are you getting worked up over a science research program? Isn't introducing kids to robots and technology a GOOD THING?
