Margie's mother's view matches which modern educational idea?

Personalized learning

The governing concept is personalized learning, in which instruction is adjusted to a learner's ability, pace, and needs. Margie's mother believes that the mechanical teacher should be set to suit Margie's mind, so the County Inspector examines the machine and changes its speed when the Geography lessons become too difficult. This is not the same as removing education or abandoning assessment; it is an attempt to make instruction appropriate for one child. Option C is correct because it names that learner-centred principle. Option A describes a uniform method, the opposite of the mother's view. B is too extreme, and D is unsupported because Margie still receives regular tests. The episode also invites readers to ask whether personalization needs human understanding.
