TOMMY AND MARGIE VISIT OLDEN TIMES:
Tommy, a 13 years old boy, had found a real book - on the day of 17th May 2157. Tommy showed that book to Margie, who was 11 years of age. Never before had she seen a real book. She once had heard about printed books from her grandfather. It had been a very ancient text. The pages became crinkly and orange. Both Tommy and Margie started reading the book. Tommy and Margie are astonished to see the book's words affixed on the pages and not moving as they are accustomed to seeing words on the screen which move. In fact Tommy and Margie were born and brought up in the period of advanced TV and computers, and they had a mechanical teacher who gave lesson at home. Tommy found the book a waste. Tommy and Margie did not have printed books and their books flashed and zoomed on the TV screen. Tommy considered the old book a waste since, unlike computers, it could not have new words after one has completed reading them. Tommy had read more books on the TV screen than Margie. Tommy said Margie it was a school book. Tommy tells Margie that the book is not like her TV school having mechanical teachers. Contrariwise, centuries ago such old schools were found. He tells her that the old schools had different types of buildings in which people and not robots taught classes. Students of the same standard were taught by the same set of teachers in the same classroom.
Margie thought that it would be great fun to study in those schools. Margie hated school all the time. Your school was in her home in a house. It was near her bedroom in the room. Her Mechanical Professor flashed daily on her TV, except Saturday and Sunday. She was forced to attend all alone. This mechanical tutor asked questions and gave assignments and later supervised it. It also evaluated and awarded the marks for test papers and assignments. As Tommy tells her that the book is about a school Margie is upset since she doesn't like schools. Her idea of a school is a television screen teaching different courses in different topics. The TV had a special slot where students must submit their homework and which was evaluated and marked in the system. Margie’s aversion for a school had intensified lately since the mechanical teacher was not functioning properly. Margie’s mechanical teacher had been giving her test after test. Margie’s performance had been going from worse to worst. Margie's mother called the County Inspector to investigate the cause of the error. The inspector had disbanded the mechanical instructor and found that Margie's poor performance was not because of her. In fact, the geography division was set at a pace which was too quick for her age and understanding. The Inspector set the speed to Margie’s level however she was not happy to have the teacher back in order. She sincerely hoped that mechanical teacher would be taken away for few days and she need have to go through the pain of taking several tests.
In comparison to the present system of schooling, Tommy and Margie discussed how teachers adapted to the necessity of the individual students and how students adapted their level with the same teacher during olden times. They did not even complete half the book when Margie was reminded by her it was time for school. Margie’s classroom was next to her bedroom. She had to study at fixed hours since her mother considered it appropriate to study at a fixed time daily. As the mechanical teacher explains how to add the right fractions, Margie gets lost in her feelings of school during olden times. She believed that children should have liked to go to school together. They had fun go to the same school, study the same stuff and help each other. She was thinking of the old days and the fun that children they had.
