7-3

Scout, the main little girl, goes to her first day of school and her teacher doesn't like her because she already knows how to read and write.  Miss Caroline told Scout that she is not allowed to be taught by her father.  This makes her really upset, but her father and she work out a compromise.  I think her teacher was a little jealous that this girl was already so smart.  I think she didn't want her dad to teach her because it would defeat the pupose of her job.  You would think that a teacher would encourage outside learning so they would have to do everything.  This book really emphasized some of the differences between now and then.
