Margie found nothing in school to enjoy. So she hated it. But now she began hating school more than ever. Her mechanical teacher gave her test after test, but Margie couldn’t do well in those tests. She went on doing worse and worse in each test. Her mother was very unhappy with her, so Margie hated school.
But when she knew about old schools from Tommy, she thought they were great fun. Children from the whole neighbourhood went there together. They played, laughed and shouted in the school yard. They sat together in the schoolroom. They learnt the same things at school. At the end of the day, they went home together. She thought that they must have been places of great fun.
