(ii) How was Margie's school different
from the one her great grandfather
had ?
Answers
Margie’s school was at home. She had a virtual teacher which was computer fitted with latest gizmos & she studied from ebooks, no other students were there in the class and work was fed in by the mechanical teacher by punch codes. Whereas, the old schools had proper buildings, many students, human teachers who gave homework and asked questions. Everyone learned the same things and books were of paper. So, it is clearly visible that Margie’s school was totally different from the schools that existed hundreds of years ago.
Answer:
margie and Tommy have mechanical teachers in schools .They do not have separate buildings for the schools. the next room to their bedroom is a schoolroom for them. their teachers are, in fact ,robotic teachers. they have sectors of different subjects having set text speed and level .the mechanical teachers have a big screen showing lessons and test papers. there is a slot for each child has to put in his homework and test assignments for evaluation.this teachers could evaluate the assignment in no time.they could tell how a child was performing but could never tell why the child was performing badly. the old kind of school were located in special buildings .all the children from the neighbourhood used to go there together .they laughed shouted and place together .they learn the same thing and could help one another in their homework .Margie thought that this schools must have been fun.
