"Well, you've heard it all, so you might as well
hear the rest... This is their home, sister," said Atticus. "We've made it this way for
them, they might as well learn to cope with it." (Chapters
21-22)
MISS
CAROLINE & READING. Miss Caroline directed Scout to get no more
teaching time from Atticus, since "your father does not know how to teach." Scout
decided she didn't want to go back, but Atticus came up with a
solution.
"Do
you know what a compromise is?... (It's) an agreement reached by mutual concessions. It
works this way... If you'll concede the necessity of going to school, we'll go on
reading every night just as we always have. Is it a bargain?" (Chapter
3)

answers instead of listening to the town. I hope they trust me enough... Jean Louise?...
Go to bed." (Chapter
9)
