Why did Margie hate school? Why did she think the old kind of school must have been fun?
Solution and Explanation
Margie found school dull because her mechanical teacher consistently began class at the same time. Her mechanical teacher repeatedly tested her on Geography, and her performance was not satisfactory.
Margie disliked inserting her homework and test papers into the slot on the mechanical teacher.
She believed that the traditional form of school would have been enjoyable because it would include children from different parts of the neighborhood. It would have been exciting to sit together in a classroom, learn the same things, and leave school together at the end of the day.
All the kids could support each other in their studies and homework.
