How does Scout’s reaction show that she disagrees with Atticus?
Scout feels discouraged returning home from school. After dinner she tells Atticus she doesn't want to go back. Atticus asks her to understand the situation from Miss Caroline's point of view - Miss Caroline can't be expected to know what to do with her students when she doesn't know anything about them yet. I don't think Scout really disagrees with Atticus; she is just frustrated over her school experience and can only think to stay at home to solve it. In the end she learns something about the art of compromise.
