Teachers for younger grades are very important. Human to human interaction is crucial to a developing child's mind, and teachers of those grades are specifically trained for it.
I think we often view teaching as knowledge-in-knowledge-out, which is true for later grades. For early ones though, many teach how to be "human" as crazy as it sounds.
A great example would be handing a double sided worksheet to a child in 1st grade. A normal person may just hand the child the paper and pencil and tell them to go work on it. A teacher will teach the child where and how to write their name, to read instructions carefully, and to flip the paper over to check for more questions.
We often don't think about things like that, since we don't remember them at all.
I can imagine a future where AIs greatly enhance the paperwork, planning, etc. of teachers so that they can wholly focus on human to human interaction.
There's much more I'm missing here that teachers of younger grades do, but I hope my point has gotten across.
In fact, if you haven't had an infant, they don't even know how to eat. You have to teach them and train them how to masticate, which is kind of weird.
