Because she got in trouble for exposing why Walter didn't wanna take ms.Caroline's money
Atticus Finch intervenes and stops Scout from beating up Walter Cunningham during lunch at school. He reminds Scout of the importance of empathy and understanding others' situations before judging or acting aggressively.
Scout had tried to come to Walter Cunningham's aid when the teacher did not understand why Walter had no lunch and why he refused money to buy lunch. But Scout cannot tell details of what she knows; she does say the teacher is making Walter feel ashamed. The teacher does not appreciate that comment! So she punishes Scout, and the class laughs. Scout beats up Walter because he got her in trouble.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Scout diffused a potentially violent situation by talking to Walter Cunningham and reminding him of their connection and shared experiences, ultimately appealing to his humanity. By treating Walter with kindness and empathy, Scout was able to break the tension and prevent any harm from coming to her father, Atticus.
Scout beat up Walter Cunningham in the schoolyard because he made her feel embarrassed by telling the teacher about her father's work defending Tom Robinson. Scout felt protective of her father and didn't want him to be judged based on his job.
Scout blames Walter Cunningham for what happened to her when she defended him. Miss Caroline slaps Scout with a ruler a dozen times and told her to stand in the corner. Scout is embarrassed, and later on she beats him up. Hope that helped. :)
Scout tries to explain to Walter Cunningham that Atticus is a good person and meant no harm when trying to help him. She ends up offending Walter by calling him "trash" without realizing how insensitive it was.

Jem and Scout got in a fist fight , not Atticus and Scout.
Scout tries to be polite and start a conversation with Mr. Cunningham, and it makes him see through Atticus's point of view. Mr. Cunningham has a son (Walter Cunningham) that's Scout's age.
