2. Introductory Remarks
This is an imaginary story, which is put in the year of 2155. Margie and Tommy, two young children, found a printed book of our time and learned the wonderful things about our schools. The writer, by making Margie and Tommy looking back, helps us at the same time to look forward and have a picture of a new way of education: no human teachers, no classmates studying together. Education is given to children through TV at home. However, from the eyes of Margie, we do notice a sense of criticism of the new way.
