If your kid isn't having nightmares about robots yet... this story might change that.

A school district in western New York is welcoming a brand-new "teacher" this fall. Her name is Sally, and she's not fresh out of college. She's fresh out of the factory.

Sally is a full-sized humanoid robot with silicone skin, long brown hair, facial expressions, and enough upper-body movement to make you wonder if she's about to assign homework... or launch the next robot uprising.

The good news? Sally isn't replacing human teachers. Instead, she's there to help with lessons and keep students engaged.

The slightly creepy news? She has a lifelike appearance and can remember previous conversations.

Totally normal. Nothing to see here.

One catch: Sally won't call students by their names. Instead, kids will introduce themselves by number.

"Hi, Miss Sally. I'm Student 1234."

If that sounds a little like checking into a top-secret government lab... you're not alone.

Sally can also jump into lessons if the teacher accidentally skips over something.

Imagine finally thinking you're getting out of a pop quiz because the teacher forgot... and suddenly the robot chimes in:

"Actually, you skipped Chapter 7."

Thanks, Sally.

The district paid about $57,000 for the robotic educator, which was apparently a bargain compared to the regular price of $95,000.

No word yet on whether Sally gets summers off, joins the teachers' fantasy football league, or complains about the copier being jammed for the 47th time.
