Why is it important that Scout's first day of school revolves around her ability to read and write?

• Miss Caroline's insistence on "undoing the damage" done to Scout mirrors how higher levels of society try to "fix" culture, traditions, and lifestyles of lower social classes.
• Scout's ability to read shows that Atticus actually cares enough to teach his children at home.
• Scout's inability to read and write highlights how society needs to help the lower classes attain a higher level of education.
