Scout's loss of innocence is due, in part, to her teachers. Miss Caroline Fisher shows Scout for the first time that not all adults agree, or even like one another. She finds herself having to defend her father and family to her teacher. She also takes a lot of criticism when her father takes Tom's case. Lastly, she overhears some of her teachers, whom she considered role models, degrading the blacks in the community and she gets a glimpse into the real world....leaving behind the 'everyone is good' ideology of her childhood.
