The teacher sees that Scout can read really good and told her to tell her dad to stop teaching her to read at home. Scout also informs the teacher with all the information she doesn't know. Like, the Ewells and the Cunninghams, about how they're poor and only going to school on one day and don't accept anything they can't pay back. The day is full of a drama. After the first day of school, Scout decides that she doesn't want to go to school anymore.
About this character... The narrator and protagonist of the story. Scout lives with her father, Atticus, her brother, Jem, and their black cook, Calpurnia, in Maycomb. She is intelligent and, by the standards of her time and place, a tomboy. Scout has a combative streak and a basic faith in the goodness of the people in her community. As the novel progresses, this faith is tested by the hatred and prejudice that emerge during Tom Robinson’s trial. Scout eventually develops a more grown-up perspective that enables her to appreciate human goodness without ignoring human evil.
