The Fun They Had in School
On the page headed May l7，2517，Margie wrote in her diary，“Today Tommy found a real book!”
It was a very old book covered with dust．Margie’s grandfather once said that long ago all stories were printed on paper
“What is it about?” asked Margie
“School”
“School? What’s there to write about school? I hate school．”
Margie hated school now more than ever．The electric teacher had bee giving her drill after drill in geography and she had been doing worse and worse until her mother had finally sent for someone to fix the teacher
The man came with a whole box of tools．He turned off the elecuicity，and started to repair the teacher．There was a momtor that showed questions，and a hole where Margie had to put compositions and test papers．The electric teacher marked the paper quickly．
Margie asked Tommy，“Why would anyone write about school?”
“Because it’s the school they bad hundreds of years ago”
Margie read the book for a while，then said，“Anyway，they had a teacher？”
“Yes，but it was a man”
“A man? How could a man be a teacher?”
“Well，he just told the kids things and gave them homework”
“A man isn’t smart enough．”
“Sure he is．My father knows as much as my teacher’’
“But I wouldn’t want a strange in my house to teach me．”Margie argued
Tommy laughed．“The teacher didn’t live in the house．They had a special building and all the kids went there”
“And all the kids learnt the same thing?”
“Sure，if they were the same age”
They weren’t even half-finished when Margle’s mother called．“Margfa! School!”
Margie went into the school next to her bedroom，and the electric teacher was waiting far her them．It was the same way every day except Saturday and Sunday
The monitor lit up，and it said，“Please put yesterday’s homework in the proper hole”
Margie sighed and threw a dirty sock at the machine．She was thinking about the old days．All the kids from the whole neighborhood came to the school，Iaughing and shouting in the yard．They could even help one another with the homework
And the teachers were people!
