Even if LMMs (you know, LLMs sensu stricto can’t teach kids read and write) are able to do all primary work of teachers, some humans will have to oversee the process because as soon as a dispute between a student and an AI teacher arises, e. g., about grades or because of the child not willing to study, parents will inherently distrust AI and require a qualified human teacher intervention.
Also, since richer parents are already paying for more pleasant education experience in private schools (often but not always organized according to Montessori method), I believe that if jobs and daycare really become the focus of middle education taxpayers would gladly agree to move the school system into more enjoyable and perhaps gamified direction. Most likely some workers for whom a teacher wouldn’t be a really appropriate term anymore (pedagogues?) will look after the kids and also oversee the AI teaching process to some extent
