Margie's grandfather once said that when he was a little boy his grandfather told him that there was a time when all stories were printed on paper. • What's it about?" asked Margie. • Tommy said: "School.” 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 had a special building and all the kids went there." "And all the kids learned the same thing?" "Sure, if they were the same age.” They didn’t have a regular teacher, I mean a mechanical teacher. It was a man.
