Miss Caroline on the first day of school:
"Saved by the bell, Miss Caroline watched the class file out for lunch. As I was the last to leave, I saw her sink down into her chair and bury her head in her arms. Had her conduct been more friendly toward me, I would have felt sorry for her. She was a pretty little thing."
Scout on Miss Caroline on the first day of school22
Ok, now I though I was getting paid to teach these children to read and print. What is a teacher supposed to do when she finds out that her students already know half the curriculum? And then that Jean Louise again. She started to sound like she was trying to teach me! Mr. Cunningham failed to bring his lunch, so being the polite lady I am, I offered him a quarter. Then Miss Jean Louise starts lecturing me on how I can't use stove wood.
And I thought my day couldn't get any worse. If I supposed Walter and his hookworm to be bad, imagine my fright when I found the Ewell boy. He made me wonder if he had taken a bath in his life! The cooties in his hair weren't even the worst of it, and those made me embarrass myself by screaming. When Jean Louise started explaining again, I was more obliged to listen, as not to humiliate myself further. That plan failed though, and by the time Burris left I had broken down into tears. I guess the kids were sympathetic when they were trying to consolidate me, but I do hope that the rest of the school year is much more enjoyable than the first day of school.
