What is Tommy's attitude toward old schools?

Correct answer: Informative and curious

Tommy is informative and curious about old schools. He has found an old book and explains its descriptions to Margie, including the facts that children studied together in a school building and that a human teacher taught them. His comments show interest in comparing that system with the mechanical education of his own time. He is not angry or afraid, and he is not completely uninterested because he actively shares the information and responds to Margie’s questions. Therefore, option A is correct. Although Tommy sometimes speaks confidently and laughs at Margie’s limited knowledge, his overall role is to introduce and discuss the unfamiliar idea of old schooling. His attitude helps move the conversation and develop the story’s contrast between two educational systems.
