With what did the human teacher connect children in the old school?

Correct answer: With the shared experience of learning

The governing concept is shared educational experience. In the old school, the human teacher did not teach each child as an isolated learner working alone at home. The teacher brought children together in one classroom, guided their common study, encouraged interaction, and made learning a social activity. This shared experience could include listening to the same explanation, responding to questions, cooperating with classmates, and enjoying the presence of other learners. Therefore option B is correct. Option A has no educational meaning in the story. Option C belongs to the problems of mechanical instruction, not the bond created by a human teacher. Option D is the condition that old-school interaction helped overcome, not what the teacher created. The answer captures the story’s contrast between community and isolation.
