For whom does the memory of old education become a criticism of the future?

For both the reader and Margie

The governing narrative technique is the use of contrast to create criticism. Margie lives inside the future system, yet Tommy's book makes her imagine children learning together, enjoying one another's company, and being taught by a human teacher. She consequently begins to question the value of her own isolated routine. The reader also notices this irony: a technologically advanced system appears less satisfying than the older one. Therefore the memory of old education criticizes the future for both Margie and the reader, making option A correct. The mechanical teacher is an object, not a reflective audience, and the book and County Inspector do not experience this interpretive effect.
