Pedagogy at Atticus:

1. When children ask questions, answer them. But don't play unnecessarily. Children are always children, but they can see that you are running away faster than adults. You'll confuse them if you don't answer.

2. It is inevitable for children to say unpleasant things. When they find it unpleasant to say these unpleasant words, these unpleasant words will disappear automatically with the passage of time.

3. Don't always think that a man with a gun in his hand is brave.

7. "But is it right to hate Hitler?"

"No, it shouldn't," he said. "It shouldn't be to hate anyone."

8. I am everything to them. James always looks at me before looking at anyone, and I have tried to live with integrity in order to look back at him without shame...
