Answer: Calpurnia is more than a housekeeper and cook. She is part of the family. She is a teacher to Scout and Jem. She is a caring but strict disciplinarian. Calpurnia treats Scout and Jem as she would her own children
Explanation:
Atticus trusts Calpurnia. He supports her and gives her the authority she needs to discipline the children. When Scout is upset with Calpurnia for correcting her manners concerning the Cunningham boy, Atticus sides with Calpurnia. He knows that Calpurnia loves Scout and Jem as she would her very own children. This shows that Atticus is not prejudiced in any way. Also, his children do not judge Calpurnia based on her skin color.
