When Walter goes home for lunch with Jem and Scout, Atticus treats him like a man. They talk about "grown up" farming stuff. Atticus began the discussion because he knows it's polite to talk to/with people about what they are interested in. Walter will never do well in school, so academics would not be a good topic. Atticus stuck to what Walter knew well. That shows he has respect for little Walter. This shows that there is no "class system" in the Finch household. The link proves this.
Also, when Scout made fun of his eating his lunch with syrup all over it, Atticus was not the one to jump down her throat. Calpunia stepped in. Atticus remained in the background and then carried on their conversation as Scout was taken off by Cal.
