Abstract
In this position paper, we will raise some critical issues on applying robotics technologies into the educational environment. The series of discussions are based on our previous study on toddlers - robots interaction at a nursery school. In reaction to the notice warning of its potential risk, we will present a scenario in which robots are employed with less ethical concern and more educational contribution.
