Scout was left the unpleasant task by the rest of her classmates to explain to the teacher that Walter Cunningham could not borrow any money for lunch because his family simply couldn't afford to repay that money. This explanation got Scout into trouble with the teacher as it was seen as rude. Ergo, Scout was angry and annoyed with Walter Cunningham.
Because he made her look bad on the first day of school, after she defended/explained his reason for rejecting the teacher's 25 cents.
Scout rubs Walter Cunninghams's nose in the dirt because he made her, "start off on the wrong foot." Ms. Caroline (Scout and Walter's first grade teacher, new to Maycomb) asked Walter why he had no lunch with him and was not riding the bus into town to get his own. He lied (if you recall, the Cunninghams were a poor farmworking family) and said he had left his money at home. Ms. Caroline, not knowing any better, offered him three quarters to go into town and buy a lunch. When Walter refused (fearing entailment) Scout piped up and explained how the Cunninghams were a poor family and never take anything from anybody that they can't pay back. Ms. Caroline thought this to be awfully offensive, slapped Scout on the palm and sent her to the corner until lunch time. Directly before leaving for lunch, was when Scout caught Walter outside and began to beat him up.

∙ 12y agoScout rubbed his nose in dirt, because she was angry at him for accidentally getting her in trouble. Walter brought no lunch with him to school, so their teacher gave him money to buy himself something. Walter refused this money because Cunninghams never took what they could not return, and the Cunninghams were one of the worse off members of the Maycomb community. The teacher was new to the ways of Maycomb, and did not know why Walter would not accept he money. To save Walter the embarrassment Scout explained the situation, getting herself into a bit of hassle with the teacher.
