Yes, i believe it was right. Mainly because we can see the consequences or this kind of common core schooling. When you keep at the pace of the slowest student you deny most kids from excelling, when this happen you graduate less scientists, engineers, and any type of advanced college based education. By bypassing the common core you not only teach your kids to excel, but you teach them to learn differently. School isn't about teaching you THINGS, it is designed to teach you HOW to learn. The subjects they teach you can grab your interest for any kind of college or vocational career, it also increases your overall brain capacity.

He is doing it to make Scout smarter and more educated so she can have a good job because she can read and not be dumb

It was alright because if that's something she likes to do let her do it and It just makes the teacher's life 10 times easier to teach

Reading will give Scout a head start in education which in turn makes her smarter. She can get a job that requires a good brain. If Miss Caroline keeps her from reading and make her slow down for the rest of the class she could be working a minimum wage job when she's an adult.

It was right because it allows her to progress further and possibly graduate sooner and give her confidence and prepare her for the future.

It was completely all right for Atticus to continue reading with his daughter. If he followed the rules than Scout would never find her true potential. Even though Ms. Caroline has different teaching methods, Atticus will still be teaching her the same information. Having a less intense learning curve with the stress of interaction can help Scout become a well rounded person in the long run. Ms. Caroline has no right to place rules on some other persons child. Atticus has every reason to continue reading to his daughter.

Because scout is his daughter and if he wants to read to her everyday than he can, and what is so wrong about her having a good education.

Side: Yes, it was right

i think its right because the teacher can't tell the kids parents that they can or can't teach their kids. it's up to the parents to decide what the kids education is.

Side: Yes, it was right

Yeah, little gril Scuot was learneding reading and riting, but her stoopid teecher didn't want she too. But Daddy atticus was still willing to teacher her reading and riting at night, but thats none of my business.

it was right, because kids should never be afraid to learn. If they love reading parents should keep it that way.

Side: Yes, it was right

I think it right because it helps them get better understanding

Side: Yes, it was right
2 points

It was right, because if scout had already been reading and is still learning how to, why stop her due to a new way of teaching? Also because it was a rule that was not needed to be put down, and some rules that are unneeded, need to be broken.

Side: Yes, it was right
2 points

Yes because there is no harm in learning how to read early

Side: Yes, it was right

its okay because it is stupid for a teacher to ask a student to stop educating themselves and Atticus only did what he know would make scout feel better because it was really bothering her.

Side: Yes, it was right

Yes it was because Atticus has every right to do so because Scout is his daughter. And breaking the rules sometimes is good. Rules were made to be broken.

Who actually thinks reading is wrong? Just because you're an incompetent teacher doesn't mean you have to stop the learning of a smart student. It's your job to teach them and if you see the high potential of a student the learning style should be adapted.

Side: Yes, it was right

You have the mentality of a goldfish with down syndrome. Why should we assume that some individual placed in our school simply because they know the subject being taught that they know how were supposed to live and learn

If Ms. Caroline's intentions are good than I don't see why it would be wrong to follow her lead. She was teaching Scout in groups of people for a more social way of learning. If She learned with one person she may have mental conflicts with herself and most likely others
