To Save an Education

As you read the beginning chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird and witness Scout and Jem's interactions with teachers, peers, and curriculum, it becomes more and more apparent that Harper Lee has strong opinions on the education system that was in existence at the time when she grew up.

What were her opinions?

How do you think she overcame her poor education to become one of the century's most famous authors?

What is your opinion on today's education system?

If you hold a negative opinion, what do you think should be done/changed to make today's education more effective?
