Dron values schools because they encourage learning that a person cannot get on their own. Edriss values schools because they prove that she has learned things. Dron considers this wasteful and is contemptuous of that attitude -- even though it's common to a lot of students and a lot of teachers -- so he's strongly contesting it. However, since Edriss feels this is a perfectly valid attitude towards schooling (which it is), she's extremely galled that he's punishing her for it.
