chapter 2 questions




Chapter 2 




1.) Why is Scout so looking forward to starting school? 


Because she wouldn't be bored and she could learn more.



2.)Why does Jem not want anything to do with Scout at school? Is his behaviour typical of an older child? 


He doesn't want to see his younger sibling because he sees her all the time at home and she is embarrassing to him.



3.) What do you think of Miss Caroline Fisher as a teacher? Can you find qualities which would make her good or not so good at her job? 

 I think she has the potential to become a good teacher but she is still learning the ropes and is overwhelmed right now. She is strict which shows the kids she is in charge and she has her own way of teaching and i don't know if its a good or bad thing yet.
