In the average person's life, education is everything and is shown everywhere, even in places you wouldn't expect to find it. Education is important for life in today's average society because if you don't have an education, you probably won't get a well-paying job, or even a job at all, because education is necessary for almost everything. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the upbringing in Maycomb is shown by many people and is interpreted to Scout, Jem and Dill in many ways, although it is imperfect and sometimes backwards in most of the case. Other ways education is taught throughout the book are moral; school and through their father, which influenced the scout the most through the book. Once Scout reaches the minimum age for school, she thinks school will be great and easy, but when she gets there, she knows it will be the exact opposite when she finds out. a new teacher teaches him. Ms. Caroline only teaches her way which makes the education system flawed since most students learn in different ways and not just the way a teacher thinks their students should learn. Mrs. Caroline said: “Your father doesn’t know how to teach. You can sit down now. (Lee, 17 years old). This is said on Scout's first day at school. This shows that Mrs. Caroline's way of teaching is discriminatory to the way Scout was taught to read. Ms. Caroline is narrow-minded when it comes to teaching and does not understand the ways of a small town. Additionally, she does not know that the children there are intelligent and are used to a harsher environment, leading to no education being taught to the children throughout the book. This means that throughout the book, Scout learns little at school, but mostly from her father and her surroundings. mature unlike many other Maycomb children. Throughout the book, Scout, Jem, and Dill all learn and become more mature as the book progresses and explains that education plays an important role in this. As they learn more, they begin to know people as they really are and not as stereotypes. They begin to become more mature than most of the residents of Maycomb as they begin to associate more with blacks than whites. This shows that they did not go as far as racism. It's like most things the average person goes through in life. Once you learn more about the world, you start to become more mature and aware of what's going on, which makes you smarter than before. Additionally, when you start to become more aware and intelligent, you see people as they really are not as they appear to be, as shown in To Kill a Mockingbird..
