This book so far has been pretty good. I was not sure if I would like it or not at first, but I find the interactions between the children to be interesting, during the time period. It is so different from modern times. I've been able to keep up with the annotations, and I do believe that it has helped. Sometimes I will annotate beyond what is written in the syllabus, but it is usually just thoughts I have and want to write down.
I can somewhat relate to Scout's first school days. I have always had a 12.9 reading level (though that was most likely my skill at the STAR test, not a completely accurate representation), and my teachers did not know what to do with me. "'It's best to begin reading with a fresh mind. You tell him I'll take over from here and try to undo the damage'". My teachers, however, handled the situation a little better than Miss Caroline.
