For Scout, school isn't anything like she expected. She's bored and easily distracted, as she isn't being challenged or even allowed to use the knowledge she already has. Her conflict can be found in her desire to learn, as opposed to her teacher's desire to hold her back according to the dictates of the new educational system.
