She is angry that she cannot get a reaction from Helen Burns.
In the passage it is clear that Burn's does not cry, so Miss Scatchered s not getting a reaction out of her. It doesn't seem that Helen has learned anything from the punishment. Her exclamation of "Hardened girl!" shows her frustration to teach Helen a lesson.
She is angry that she cannot get a reaction from Helen Burns.
