when scout criticizes walter cunningham's eating habits, calpurnia scolds scout, smacks her on the
bottom as she sends the girl out of the room, and then lectures her on proper manners, saying, "yo' folks
might be better'n the cunninghams but it don't count for nothin' the way you're disgracin' 'em." what
does calpurnia mean here? is she right?

Calpurnia means just because Scout's family might be better off, wealth and class wise, than the Cunninghams Scout cannot go around treating them as if she is above them or has a higher rank. Calpurnia is correct and is trying the kids perspective of the Cunningham's point of view and adding her experience to back up her lesson, with emotion, since the kids visit a colored Church ever so often.
