On what basis does the human teaching system of old schools make the future mechanical system appear weak?

The mechanical system lacks emotional and collective depth

The governing concept is that education is more than the delivery of information; it also involves relationships, empathy, discussion, cooperation, and shared experience. In The Fun They Had, Margie and Tommy study separately through mechanical teachers, so their learning is isolated and monotonous. The old school system appears stronger because a human teacher can understand a learner’s difficulty, encourage curiosity, adjust explanations, and connect children with classmates. Therefore, option A is correct: the mechanical system lacks emotional and collective depth. Option B is wrong because the mechanical teacher has lessons, option C is irrelevant because it has a fixed schedule, and option D has no connection with the educational contrast.
