Chapter 2

I was so to start school today and of course... it was already horrible! Miss. Caroline was angry with me because she said I'm too intelligent, and ahead of the class. Miss Caroline told me whoever is teaching me things out of school, needs to stop. No one is teaching me at home, though. The only learning I do at home is when I read with Atticus every night. I really don't like school but Atticus told me if I kept going we can continue to read every night.

 



Miss Caroline then orders us to get out our lunches. Walter Cunningham is in my class; he's very  poor. His family is farmers and this depression hit them hard. Miss Caroline offered Walter a coin to buy at lunch, but Walter refused. Miss Caroline was very confused to why he would deny her offer, and I tried to explain the Cunningham's situation to her. I explained to her that the Cunningham family doesn't take offers from people because they can never pay the people back. Miss Caroline thought I was nuts and didn't believe me.
