Explanation:
1) Margie and Tommy had mechanical teachers. They were taught on computers and television screens. They didn't have a living person as a teacher who would teach the pupils in a classroom.
2) Margie's mother sent for the County Inspector because the mechanical teacher was not functioning efficiently. Margie had been given many tests in geography by the teacher, but there was no improvement in her performance.
3) he is the county inspector he took the teacher away and inspected it . He found that the geography section of the teacher was geared little too quick . Then he set it to an average 10 year level .
4) Margie was doing badly in geography because the geography sector of the mechanical teacher had been adjusted at a higher level. In order to help her, the County Inspector slowed down the geography sector of the mechanical teacher to an average ten-year level.
5) Once, the history sector of Tommy's teacher had once blanked out completely. So, the county inspector had taken it away almost for a month. Margie was thinking that he would take her mechanical teacher too with himself to repair it.
6) Yes, Margie had regular days and hours for school because her mother believed that learning at regular hours helped little girls learn better. So, her mechanical teacher always turned on at the same time every day except on Saturdays and Sundays. 7.
