How do other people in the town feel about how Atticus is raising his children in To Kill a Mockingbird?

UNCLE JACK.  Jack obviously
feels that his brother is much better prepared for parenting, since he comes to Atticus
to discuss his spanking of Scout in Chapter 9.
AUNT
ALEXANDRA
.  Alexandra thinks Atticus has done a poor job raising the
children, especially the unladylike Scout. Her decision to move to Maycomb to live with
the family is based on this opinion.
COUSIN
FRANCIS
.  Francis agrees with everything his grandmother, Alexandra,
says.
MISS STEPHANIE CRAWFORD
.  The town gossip
thinks that Scout will never become a lady with Atticus serving as a single
father.
MRS.
DUBOSE.  She believes Atticus lets his children "run
wild."
MR. AVERY
He calls Jem and Scout "bad children."
MISS
CAROLINE
.  She thinks Atticus "does not know how to
teach."
MISS MAUDIE.  Maudie generally supports
Atticus in every way, and she seems to approve of his parenting
skills.
