Margie asked Tommy why someone would write about school because in her time, school was taught by human teachers, unlike in the story she was reading where school was taught by mechanical teachers. This concept was foreign to Margie as she couldn't comprehend the idea of not having a human teacher.
Because Margie hates school and can't think of any reason that someone would write about it. She also hated her mechanical teacher that had been giving her test after test in geography and cannot think of anything to write about school.
The main characters in "The Fun They Had" by Isaac Asimov are Margie, a schoolgirl, and Tommy, her classmate. Margie and Tommy discover a printed book in Margie's attic and are intrigued by the concept of a physical book, as they are used to learning from a computerized school system in the future.
I'm pretty sure they are friends. From the way they say "my mother" or "my father" rather than "mom says" or "dad" ... and they way they don't seem to have a shared past. It sounds like a friendship rather than a sibling relationship.
Margie is eleven and Tommy is thirteen. The story is set in the year 2157, so as of this writing (2011), they haven't been born yet. :)
Tommy and Margie.

Yes, I agree with Margie. Schools today incorporate more interactive technology, experiential learning, and diverse teaching methods to engage students, making learning more enjoyable compared to the traditional school in the story where learning was passive and rote-based.
