उत्तर
Because school was not enjoyable, Margie detested it. She used to receive daily instruction at a set time from a mechanical teacher. Placing the assignment in the mechanised teacher's slot was the aspect she detested the most. The need that she write her responses in a punch code bothered her. Additionally, she didn't appreciate that the mechanical teacher determined the grades right away. Her school seemed cold and dull to her. As she pictured all the children from the entire area gathering together to laugh and yell in the schoolyard, she felt that the old-fashioned school must have been enjoyable. At the end of the day, she pictured them sitting together in the classroom and heading home together. They could discuss it and help each other with the assignments, and they would learn the same things. The teachers were also people. She thought that the old-fashioned schools must have been enjoyable because of all these factors.
