From Ms. Caroline's point of view
Well its my first day as a 1st grade teacher and I cant wait. I may be young but I'm a stern teacher just like I was back home in northern Alabama. Maycomb is a very small town compared to where I'm from.
My first day wasn't exactly what I excepted. First off theres this girl named Jean Louis Finch, but goes by Scout. She's already learned to read and write! She's even learned some cursive. To think her father Atticus is taking my job! He's not the one with a degree! I am. she's far to ahead of the rest of the class. I suppose she would of thought I'd be proud of her. Then after that she had another "Incident" where she called another student,Walter Cunnigham, poor. Just because he didn't have a lunch doesn't mean hes poor. She claimed he didn't take my quarter because he couldn't pay it back. I didn't accept name calling in my class so I swatted her with a ruler and sent her to the corner till lunch was over.
At lunch I swore I saw a couple a kids, looked like Scout and Walter, fighting in the sand, but another kid stopped them so it was okay. Boy it better not be Scout.
After lunch was even worse! A student by the name of Burris Edwell had lice in his head so I decided to send him home when another student claimed that today would be the only day he would come to school because hes an Edwell. After hearing that I told him to stay but he refused. I keep insisting until it became adherent that he would not so I finally told him to leave. He stormed off in an anger tantrum and I just couldn't believe my ears as to what I was hearing. At least a couple of the kids comforted me.
