Which statement gives the most balanced view of technology and human teachers in the story?

Correct answer: Technology can be useful, but it does not replace all the value of human guidance

Option B is correct. The mechanical teacher gives Margie lessons and tests, so the story does not present technology as entirely useless. However, Margie’s interest in old schools points to the value of learning with other children and a human teacher. The story therefore invites a balanced view: technology can teach, but it does not provide every benefit of human guidance and shared learning.
