The book is really old and pages are yellow and cranky. in the year 2155, this kind of books doesn’t exist anymore. In this time words are moving on a television screen. This television contains over a million of books. That is the reason , why Tommy thinks that they are much better. He has found the old book in the attic of his house. while reading, Tommy says that it is about school. Margie hates school and cannot understand why someone would write about it. She was having problems with learning geography from her 'mechanical teacher'. it was black, large and had a screen on it. It teaches the students, give them exercises and ask them questions, all in a special room in their own house. it can also calculate the marks in no times. Margie hates the slot where she has to insert her homework or test papers. once the geography sector of her mechanical teacher was graded too quick so that her marks got worse and worse. The county inspector rebuilt it after one hour. He was really nice to Margie. she hopped that her mechanical teacher would be away for a long time. Tommy says that the book which he has found(site), is not about their type of school, it is about school centuries ago.

And they learned the same thing. if they were the same age. At first, Margie does not understand how a person could be a teacher and how the students were thought the same thing because her mother says that education must fit each child's mind, but nevertheless, in her opinion, these schools are funny and she wants to read more about it. Then it is time for Margie and Tommy for their school. Margie goes to the schoolroom in her house, where the mechanical teacher stands. It is already on because the lessons are always at regular hours. She was thinking about the old school system and how much fun the children must have, learning and spending time together.
