To Kill A Mockingbird Real Life Analysis
There is value in both hands-on and school education because you learn different things from both. When you go to school, you get book smart and socialize with others.

When the rest of the congregation stood up for Jem and Scout attending the mass, the kids discover that when they get to experience events themselves, they see that others aren’t much different from them despite all the bad things they hear from the elderly white folks in their lives.

Scout learned needed skills in order to be a rounded individual. Scout learned about innocence from her father and his job; if she didn’t hear it from him, her teacher would have not taught it without a biased opinion. When she shows courage in school, she gets in trouble but when she shows it in the real world, she changes her father’s fate. She got to visualize perspective
