This story is by far the most common introduction most people have to Asimov, as it has been included in countless children’s story anthologies used in schools. It’s not surprising that schools would love this one, as it concerns the value of being educated by ACTUAL PEOPLE along with OTHER KIDS. Why is this a revolutionary idea? Because Asimov, as he often did, saw the future, and in this case, the future involves children being home-schooled by computers and machines, and rarely, if ever, having any contact with other children. Yes, the education is carefully tailored to each child, but when two kids find an old book, actually printed on paper, talking about the schools of old, they wonder what they’re missing out on, and become jealous of “The Fun They Had”. In this age when home schooling and computerized classes are becoming more and more common, the story seems oddly prophetic.
