What were the main features of the mechanical teacher and the school margie and tommy had. 100 words
Answers
Margie and Tommy had mechanical teachers. They had large black screens on which all the lessons
were shown and questions were asked. They were customised to fit the mind of the student they taught.
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 the mechanical teacher calculated the marks immediately. Their schools were in their
homes itself. They did not have any classmates. They learned geography, history and arithmetic. They had
regular days and hours for school. Margie‟s school was right next to her bedroom. The mechanical teacher
always turned on at the same time every day except Saturdays and Sundays because her mother believed that
little girls learned better when they learned at regular hours.
