In To Kill a Mockingbird, using Jem and Scout's experiences show the significance and importance of education? I need to analyze examples that...

Education is important because we have the opportunity to
learn quickly what other people have spent more time learning and build on the body of
information making our own lives simpler than those of generations
past.

In To Kill a Mockingbird Jem and
Scout learn regularly both in and out of the classroom. I think Lee put classroom
experiences in the book to demonstrate that often what we learn outside the classroom is
more valuable than on the inside, but the inside is an important piece
too.

We see this in chapter 2. Scout's first day at school
proves to us that Jem thinks he knows more than he really does because he explains the
Dewey Decimal System to be a new teaching style. It also proves that you learn to have
to deal with people how they are. This is a lesson Scout tries to teach Miss
Caroline.

Later in the story, in chapter 26, Scout learns
what hypocrisy is when Mrs. Gates has a problem with Hilter but later persecutes blacks
when Scout sees her in public.

Outside of education, Scout
learns the lessons that we need to walk in other people's shoes (like Boo's, Bob's, and
Mayella's). It is important to see life from others' perspectives. She also watches
women at the Missionary Tea in chapter 24 be terribly
hypocritical.

Throughout the story, but mostly after the
trial, Scout learns life lessons from Miss Maudie and Atticus. Anytime Scout is talking
with either of them, a moral about how we treat others, courage, or justice arises. Each
instance when the mockingbird is addressed demonstrates that people should be considered
innocent until proven guilty. Scout and Jem also learn through the trial that the adult
world's perspective is tainted by their biases.
