School, and specifically learning is not deterministic.

While we can automate away most things, human learning doesn't seem to be one of them.

Yea, that's what I was trying to get at. It is not deterministic because the interpretation is the point. It is how the learner integrates the material. If you don't interpret, then you're not learning, you're just memorizing.

A teacher should therefore embrace the fuzzy nature of explaining concepts.
