In the age of artificial intelligence, machines run faster than humans, are more accurate than humans, and have better memories than humans. Children should not spend too much time practicing skills in areas where machines are more proficient. Therefore, schools and families should encourage them to pursue ideals and to have convictions, hone their will, shape good personalities, cultivate creative thinking, and to develop integrity.
