Of course, Margie is right since she finds no joy having school in a room of her house. There the teacher is mechanical. It is merely a gadget who has nothing to do with the mood of the child. It keeps on taking test after test least caring for the child’s level or ability. It simply flashes lessons on the television screen. The child is all alone in his / her classroom. He / She has nobody to help him / her out when confused.
While old schools had special buildings. The children in the whole neighbourhood went there and learnt together. They sat together in the schoolroom and learnt the same things at school. They laughed and shouted in the schoolyard. At the end of the day, they went home together. Thus, schools today have more fun than the school in the story.
