The story talks about a time when schools were online, and robots taught instead of people. Margie and Tommy go to these online classes because computers are a big part of their world now. The way schools and books were before has changed because of these online schools.

Tommy finds a real book with stories in it. Margie’s grandpa remembers when all stories were printed on paper. Margie and Tommy start reading the book to learn about the old times. Tommy thinks it’s a waste to throw away a book after reading it. He believes their TV screen could store many books.

They read about schools in the past where real teachers taught, not robots. Margie doesn’t like the idea of schools because she doesn’t have friends there, and the robot teacher gives too much homework. Margie’s mom asks her to join her class since they’re reading the same book.

While at school, Margie thinks about her grandparents’ school days. Schools back then were special places where all kids learned together. Margie imagines kids from different neighborhoods happily going to school. This makes Margie curious about the fun kids had in real schools.
