Scout learns that Burris Ewell is from the Ewell family, who are known to be poor and disrespectful. Burris is rude, only attends school on the first day, and also has lice, which causes Miss Caroline to become upset. Scout realizes that the Ewells are considered outcasts in Maycomb society.
the impression of the ewells based on To Kill a Mockingbird is that they are thought of disregarding the law and only doing things in which they have to, for example Burris Ewell only comes on the first day of school each year, showing their disregard for the law.
Mean people who are very gross and dirty. Burris Ewell is the boy that only goes to the first day of school and calls the teacher a slut. It's in the beginning on Scout's first day of school. The Ewells are the poor white trash family that are accusing Tom Robinson of rape (Tom R. is the client of Atticus Finch.) The Ewells were liars, and were too ashamed to stop the slandering of Tom Robinson before it came uncontrollable, costing Tom his life. The kids would basically shrivel up in the little shack that they live in and starve, if they did not have the privilege to hunt and eat the food that they kill. But as usual the Ewells were just the opposite, they did not tell the truth on a consistent basis, and it wasted a human life. People were disgusted when they helped the Ewells. What makes them special is they were given privileges because people were ashamed of them. But the Ewells were ashamed to admit it, costing Tom Robinson his life. The Ewells are very dirty, and not very social. Burris and his other siblings only go to school on the first day, Burris has been in the first grade for three years now. They Ewells live on a piece of land off of Maycomb County and they farm, and live there. They keep to themselves, and they come and go.

They've all just given up on trying to control the Ewells. As long as they stay in their dump, the Ewells are permitted to break the rules.
Burris Ewell's behavior in the classroom is disruptive and disrespectful, likely stemming from the poor upbringing and environment he experiences at home. While he is responsible for his actions, the blame also lies with his family and societal circumstances that have not provided him with the necessary support and guidance to behave appropriately.
Burris Ewell had to go home to wash out the cooties and dirt from his hair. He was described as a very dirty and unkempt boy in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird".
He was rude and disobedient to her. Actually, Burris is asked to leave because he has lice. Miss Caroline notices something crawl out of his hair and little Chuck tells her "There ain't no need to fear a cootie ma'am."
