How did teachers and students meet in the old school?

Correct answer: Face to face in one classroom

The governing concept is face-to-face, classroom-based education. In the old system described by Tommy, children went to a school building and met a human teacher in the same classroom. The teacher and students could see one another, speak directly, ask questions, and participate in a shared learning environment. This arrangement differs from Margie’s home-based lessons, in which a mechanical teacher delivers instruction through a screen and she studies alone. Thus option C is correct because it accurately describes direct interaction in one classroom. Option A belongs to the isolated technological arrangement, while B and D remove the communication and classroom setting essential to old human schooling.
