What facts about life does Alexandra want Atticus to tell the children?

She thinks that Scout is not growing up how she expects a young lady to grow. As Scout lost her mother her only female company is their cook Calpurnia, but Scout tends to look up to her older brother Jem and follow in his footsteps, thus making her seem like a tomboy. Aunt Alexandra thinks that it is wrong of Atticus to bring Scout up in such a way therefore she stays with the family to teach Scout how to become a young lady.

She also thinks that Atticus gives his children too much freedom, for example, when Scout asks her father if she could visit Calpurnia's home, Aunt Alexandra sees this as wrong and won't allow it due to the prejudice towards those people at that period of time. If Aunt Alexandra hadn't of been there Scout would of been allowed to visit.

In conclusion it seems that Aunt Alexandra wants Jem and Scout to fit in with the society of that time, where as Atticus disagrees and thinks that everyone should be who they want to be and not be prejudiced against.
