His parent figures, or lack thereof, explain why he said rude remarks about Miss Caroline as he was walking out of the school because Miss Caroline said she was going to report him to the principal for truancy. The Ewells also have special laws because the common folk just become blind to the Ewell’s practices and judiciously grant them these privileges.

Atticus says that the truant lady could force them into going to school, but is no use forcing people like the Ewells into a new environment. This is why Burris was walking out of class while insulting the teacher. The truant lady figures she has carried out the
