Irony is one of the central literary elements in "The Fun They Had." Margie imagines the old kind of school as a fun environment and community. Today's readers, and Asimov's contemporaries, know that children who experience this type of education do not necessarily agree with Margie.
The Question and Answer section for The Fun They Had is a great resource to ask questions, find answers, and discuss the novel.
Margie is eleven-years-old. I don't recall her grade though.
Marfie hated her mechanical teacher and that homework. This made her feel excited about the in person school where children used to go and study physically.She felt that the students in a=old days used to have fun and enjoyed going to school.
She hated geography because the sector was geared up too quick and she was doing worse in tests after tests which were given by her mechanical teacher.
