Python - tkinter - dynamic checkboxes

One of my courses made a passing reference to tkinter, and that it was out of the scope of what the introductory course offered. It piqued my curiosity though and I wanted to dig deeper into it.

I have the basics down - I can get checkboxes to appear where I want them to, but I'd like to make it more dynamic/pythonic.

Column 1 - all checkboxes should always display. This works as expected. Column 2 - only the first checkbox should display, and if it's clicked, then the additional 4 checkboxes should display. When any of those 4 checkboxes are clicked, it should display a message in the text box at the bottom of the UI.

When I click the checkboxes for the focus courses in the 2nd column at the moment, they do nothing. Also, the ABC 702 checkbox that is normally hidden seems to randomly appear when the checkbox for a core course is selected. I can't figure out why.

        def __init__(self, master):
            Frame.__init__(self, master)

            self.checkBoxA = BooleanVar()
            Checkbutton(self,
                        text="ABC 501",
                        variable=self.checkBoxA,
                        command=self.update_text
