    Ans: Tommy described the old kind of school as a special building where all kids studied
    together. There were hundreds of students studying and playing together. They used to
    shout and laugh together in an open yard. He also said that the old kind of teachers were
    men, who taught the students inside a special building. The teachers taught the children in
    groups and gave them homework and asked them questions. The students learned the same
    things, so that they could help one another.
