Answer 1

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

Education is not that great in Maycomb, and most of the kids aren't doing well enough anyway. Miss Caroline seems to be aware of the level of education (not the types of people though), but doesn't want to change it.

"she discovered that i was literate and looked at ne with more than faint distaste. Miss Caroline told me to tell my father not to teach me any more, it would interfere with my reading." (Lee 19)
