11. Margie and Tommy hadhad mechanical teachers . They had large black screen on which all the lessons were shown and questions were asked . They had a slot in which students had to put their homework and test papers. They had to write their answers in a punch code and mechanical teacher calculated the marks immediately . Their schools were in their homes itself. They did not have classmates. They learned geography, history and arithmetic. They had regular days and hours for school. Margie's school was next to her bed room. The mechanical teacher always turned on at the some time except saturdays and sundays because her mother said that little girls learned better when they learned at regular hours.
