Gee, what a waste. When you’re through with the book, you just throw it away, I guess. Our television screen must have had a million books on it and it’s good for plenty more. I wouldn’t throw it away.
Same with mine. Where did you find it ?
In my house.... In the attic.
It is about school.
What is it about?
This story takes place in the future on May 17, 2157, when all books are digital, and technology has greatly advanced. Tommy found a book in the attic and showed it to Margie.

School? What's there to write about school, I hate school. Why would anyone write about school.
Because it's not our kind of school, stupid. This is the old kind of school that they had hundreds and hundreds of years ago
They were interested to find a book that is on paper, and from their grandfather's time. Margie hates school because the geography teacher keeps on making her fail her test.

Anyways, they had a teacher.
Sure they had a teacher, but it wasn't a regular teacher. It was a man
Well, he just told the boys and girls things and gave them homework and asked them questions.
A man? How could a man be a teacher
Margie was surprised by how schools used to work at that time. Tommy was laughing at Margie because of what she thought.

You don't know much, Margie. The teachers didn't live in the house. They had a special building and all the kids went there.
I wouldn't want a strange man in my house to teach me.

Margie! school ! .And it's probably time for Tommy too.
Can I read the book some time with you after school ?
Margie wanted to read more about those funny schools but they weren't even half finished when Margie's mother called...

. I think the geography sector was geared a little too quick. Those things happen sometimes. I’ve slowed it up to an average ten-year level. Actually, the overall pattern of her progress is quite satisfactory.
The geography teacher was geared a little too quickly for Margie's age. Actually, the overall pattern of her progress was quite satisfactory.

Kids must have loved school in the old days.
Today's arithmetic lesson is on the addition of proper fractions. Please insert yesterday's homework in the proper slot.
Margie was thinking about how the kids must have loved it in the old days. She was thinking about the fun they had.
