The attraction of old schools is linked with which failure of technology?

Correct answer: Failure to make learning a shared joy

The governing concept is the social dimension of education. When Margie reads about old schools, she imagines children learning together in a school building, sharing questions, play, friendship, and common experiences. The attraction does not arise because old schools were technologically efficient; it arises because they created a community around learning. Option D is correct: the machine system gives individual instruction at home but fails to reproduce the collective pleasure and companionship of a classroom. Option A is not supported because the machine can check answers. Option B is wrong because the future system succeeds at home lessons, and option C is unrelated to the appeal of old schools.
