"Hello. I am Z 2034 Programmable Teaching Unit. I am now programmed for recess and academics. As you can see you can not reach my memory system. That is why there are terminals in front of you to do your work on. Since pens and pencils give you blisters and hunt and peck typing gives you blisters on two to four fingers you will have to touch type. Any talking is a disgrace to this classroom. If you talk you will have to work in the No Silence Room. That is the room that beeps very loudly at a split second of silence. You will have to stay there for 48 hours. It's time to get to work. Now read your screen," said the pudding blob teacher.

My screen said to type in the abbreviation for schedule (SLDE). The computer replied. "(start) lecture, ask for schedule, math, recess, spelling, recess, graphics program, recess, lunch shot, recess, gym, recess, art, recess, science adventures, recess, anatomy, recess, dismissal."

Then I typed in, "What do you mean "lunch shot'?%<¼><½>@<&>?"

The computer replied, "Nutrients injected into your stomach by a ten inch syringe."

I screamed, "What, you stupid gadget? You must be malfunctioning!"

"No I am not," said Z 2034, "now off to the No Silence Room."

So I went to the No Silence Room. I was the first one there this galadaza (a school year). There were noisemakers and a button to push to show that some one is there. I stayed there for 48 hours with no one there. I returned to my normal classroom the next dol (day).

I typed "SLDE." The computer replied,"(Start) ask for schedule, anatomy, recess, science adventure, recess, gym, recess, lunch shot, recess, art, recess, continue art, recess, dismissal."

I typed ,"O.K. anatomy start."

The computer replied, "(Start) Give the scientific name for the cavity between the hipbones, the backbone, shoulder blade, breastbone, lower jaw, and collarbone."

I answered, "Pelvis, vertebrae, scapula, sternum, mandible, clavicle."

The computer replied, "(start Correct. Time for hangman, three spaces."

I guessed, "D - O - L"

The computer replied, "Correct. Five spaces."

I guessed, "Z-2034"

The computer replied, "(Start) Correct. Time for science adventure. HIt space bar."

The space bar was hit and I waited for directions.

The comptuer's directions were, "(Start) Use the table to answer these questions. 1. Is diamond harder than quartz? 2. Is diamond softer than talc?"

I answered, "1. yes 2. No."

The computer said, "(Start) That is correct. Let us skip the other recesses."

I typed, "O.K. Gym."

The computer replied, "(Start) Do a cartwheel."

I did a cartwheel then typed, "Quickly give me my lunch shot."

The computer told me to lean against the table. So I did and got it over with.

Then I typed. "Art."

The computer replied, "(Start) Type pro 1 or pro 2."

I typed pro2 and a really neat picture appeared on the screen. The message at the top said, "Spelling is next."

I typed, "Spelling Lesson 2."

The computer replied, "(Start) spell three of the words from the list."

I typed, "S-h-e-r-i-f, m-a-y-o-n-n-a-i-s-e, p-a-r-a-b-l-e."

The computer answered, "(Start) That is correct. Now type pro 1."

So I typed pro 1 and a picture of a unicorn appeared on the screen.

It was time for dismissal. After I am dismissed, I will move back to the old world to normal school.

Good bye.
