Scout seems to always be draggin around Jem, Dill and Atticus and doesn't really have the feminine life that she should have. Where they live there is alot of racism. Scouts family is not racist and thats proved by Calpurnia who is like a mother not a slave. With Scouts father being a lawyer, that is her lifestyle and she learns more than any normal kid when she says "she didn't see us but it was all over town this morning that we were in the colored balcony" because she knew they were specifically for them. I've never been in the same situation because I live with girls only amd racism isnt a huge deal around me, but I've know of friends who deal with racism and it was something that is a bid deal and hard to deal with when there are Racist people out there.
With all of the court and trials with Tom Robinson Scout has been getting all of the knowledge from her father who is being Toms lawyer for his case. Since Scout has been raised around racism and her dad trys to teach that its not okay, I think she is learning the life lessons of your race. She is learing that your color can make a big affect on your life. Scout is being taught what is and isn't okay with her Aunt Alexandra who makes sure she says the right things. This is important because Racism is everywhere and she can be able to follow in Atticus's shoes and try and stop Racism.
