Mrs. Blount,
the 6th grade teacher at s school, is a veteran teacher. When the newcomer, Miss Caroline, comes
to the school straight out of college (and as an outsider in the Maycomb community), Mrs. Blount
probably doesnt have much faith in Miss Carolines abilities. When Miss Carolines class begins to
get a little rowdy over Scouts seemingly disrespectful behavior, Mrs. Blount chastises Miss
Caroline about the noise they are making. She says that their noise and laughter is disrupting
her class from learning. Mrs. Blount is also probably suspicious of Miss Caroline because she
teaches the Dewey Decimal System, a new educational strategy at that time.
Overall, Mrs. Blount is not too welcoming to the new teacher, Miss Caroline, and like
Scout, probably doesnt care for her new learning techniques and ignorance as to how to teach
children in Maycomb.
