The humor and irony in the teacher's promotion stem from the fact that the teacher's role has become redundant and overly simplistic due to the introduction of perfect student robots. The irony lies in the idea that while teachers are typically recognized for their ability to manage and educate diverse groups of students, this particular teacher is being celebrated for a situation where her job has been made so trivial and repetitive that even a repairman is likely doing more in ensuring the students (the robots) are functioning properly. This highlights the absurdity of promoting someone in a role where the primary function of teaching has been undermined by technology, making the promotion seem both humorous and ironic.
