Why did Margie not do good in geography

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,
Margie's performance in geography was poor because the geography sector of the mechanical teacher was teaching her geography, which was programmed for children of higher age groups.The County Inspector rightly told her that she should not be blamed for her poor performance. The County Inspector slowed down the geography sector to an average ten year level. He aligned the speed of the geography sector keeping in mind the level of the girl. Before leaving, he patted Margie on the head and expressed satisfaction at her performance.
Regards.
