Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.

The job of a teacher is to better a student's learning not discourage them to stop doing something they love. So, Atticus is right for breaking the rules because he has a bigger power over the teacher. Not only does he get to spend time with Scout, but allows her to go to school as well.
The teacher may have a certain way of teaching that will increase her learning and knowledge overall and Atticus home teaching Scout will mess with the plan and utterly stunt how much she Can learn
it was right because it is stupid for a teacher to be against learning. Attiicus should be able to teach his own daughter even if it is by accident there's nothin wring with gettin ahead of the class. Atticus is the parent he can decide what is best for his child. It would be like if Roach said,"stop studying outside the classroom" we would all tell him to * off
yes it was right cause a rule made by the teacher isnt law its a ruke she made but atticus doesnt have to listen to her since the teacher doesnt make the rules for school
Well first of all atticus is scouts father he should have the right to teach his daughter to read. Because before kids usually go to school now a days they already know how to read a little bit. So he should be able to teach her.
Yes, it was morally right. The teacher has no say in how the child should be raised. Being advanced in any subject is showing good teaching skills and improves how others view them. If a teacher is telling them to stop learning, that's not right. Ironic, isn't it? Just because someone teaches differently, doesn't mean it isn't right. In our learning system, we have many different teachers within our school years, who all teach differently.
Atticus has right to do so because the law says that kids should be in school and he found a way to get Scout to school at the same time she gets want which is to read at night.
I think that it was right for him to do that because it makes it so scout it getting more and better education and it is good because in the future she can be more successful and if scout was trying to get a certain job in the future and i think it was wrong for the teacher to be an ASS like that and get mad but when Atticus said he was gonna do that he is being a savage and doesn't give a S#@% and that dint stop him so he does it and does good of it................
I think it was right for Atticus to continue to read to Scout because she is still being educated properly but maybe not how the teacher wants her to be taught.
it was right because it is not right to withhold infromation from your family and also it brought scout and Mr. Finch closer in their relationship of a family
Atticus should respect what the teacher is asking. The teacher is the one that is trying to teach scout and her dad reading with her at home can be a great conflict to the class.
Why would she feel alone if she's getting help at school and extra help at home? Even though she's reading with Atticus at home, she's still going to school.
it wasnt right because he should respect the higher power, the teacher wants her to stay at the same learning level as anyone else. So he shouldve listened to the teacher.
The teacher thinks that Scout is learning from Atticus when she should be learning from school. If you learn too quickly, you get too far ahead and you won't be learning at the same level as everyone else.
Teachers are trusted to teach the students a certain subject. By law, currently, your suppose to go to school. You are wasting their time, and not learning the things they teach, you're not helping your education.
Ms.Caroline is the teacher she is the one who went to school to teach she is the one certified to actually teach Atticus isnt the teacher and shouldnt be trying to do what he isnt trained for
Atticus isn't teaching Scout everything. He's just helping her a bit with reading. Sure, teachers should be the ones accountable for teaching kids, but if the teacher is a simple-minded, know-it-all, then maybe Scout would be more respectful towards her way of teaching.
