Beehive Ch-1 The fun they had

• Margie's grandfather once said that there was a time when all stories were printed on paper
• Margie found a very old book that Tommy had discovered in the attic of his house
• The book was about an old kind of school that existed centuries ago, where a man was the teacher
• In the old schools, all the kids learned the same things and helped each other with homework
• Margie's mechanical teacher gave her tests in geography and calculated her marks using a punch code she had to write out
• The County Inspector adjusted the geography sector of Margie's mechanical teacher to a slower pace, suitable for a ten-year-old level
• Margie was disappointed that the mechanical teacher wasn't taken away like Tommy's teacher was once taken away for a month
• Margie and Tommy discussed the differences between the old school in the book and their current mechanical teacher system
• Margie's mother believed in regular learning hours for better education, so Margie had to attend the mechanical teacher every day except Saturday and Sunday
• Margie longed for the old days when kids went to school together, learned the same things, and had human teachers
• Margie was fascinated by the idea of the fun and camaraderie in the old schools, contrasting with her solitary learning experience with the mechanical teacher
