When people think about education, they often think about being in a school. A school is a place where education is above all, and is set to high standards of learning. However, people can have a great education and learn in different settings other than a school, such as in a home.

Though was not as evident in the south as it was in the north. From early on the south was not as advanced, for “southern states did not have the tradition of public education to build on, as the north did. It was only after the Civil War that the southern states began to legislate for state supported schools.”( North vs. South - Education). The south's lack of educational advancement can be seen in To Kill A Mockingbird in both the poor classes and the middle classes. The south’s lack of education is examined through Scout, as she is disciplined for writing in the first grade.When explaining her teacher, Miss Caroline Fisher, tells her ‘“ we don't write in the first grade...you won't learn to write until you're in the third grade.”’(Lee 21) This is an example of how the southern education system is failing kids like Scout by holding them back from reaching their full potential. This can have bad consequences for kids like the Cunninghams who say that the “‘[r]eason I can't pass the first grade,... is I've had to stay out every spring and help Papa with the choppin’”. (Lee 26) This shows how the separation of classes and discrimination all stem from education or in some cases the lack of education that the children of Maycomb devastatingly suffer from. In the north education is more advanced so many don't face the hardships that those in Maycomb face, and all the

It also shows this trait when Maddie states, “ Ma won’t even answer the door for sweet Mrs. Duncan, who used to bring over cookies and baked goods all the time.”

Developing character is something that comes with time. I believe that there are three major things that effect how people develop their character—where they are from, which includes their financial status; how they are raised; and the character of the people that  have had the most influence on their lives. Sylvia, in Toni Cade Bambara’s "The Lesson," is very much influenced by all of these factors. Sylvia’s living in the slums and being poor makes her defensive and judgmental. Her parents not being around much leaves her without the attention and discipline that children need to develop to their fullest. Lastly, her friends and Miss Moore also have a great influence on how

When she finds that Scout’s premature reading ability disrupts her teaching plan she has no idea what to do with her, and tells Scout not to read at home anymore. ‘Miss Caroline told me to tell my father not to teach me anymore, it would interfere with my reading.’ This shows how society is oblivious to individual situations and this can cause achievements to be frowned upon.
