What does scout's observation that she "inched sluggishly along the treadmill of the maycomb county school system" suggest about her experience in public school? what do you think she means when she says she had the impression she was being "cheated out of something"?

Scout is a very advanced student and for that instead of being rewarded and given additional attention and assignments that would further her development she is instead reprimanded for it. Her teacher Miss Caroline is limiting what students can know and come into contact with. She even wanted her to stop reading with her father so she could do that only at school. Scout feels extremely bored and feels like she is missing a lot she could be learning about the world. She is being cheated out of knowledge which is ironic as school should be one of the places that can give children a lot of information and knowledge.
