I think the primary reason for the disparity in her beatings/scoldings is that the Eds and Jonny get on her nerves much, much more than any of the others. It may be true that Kevin picks on Jimmy a decent amount, but she doesn't have as much of a bone to pick with him as she does with the Eds.

There's also that she can get away with beating Jonny, Rolf and the Eds more easily, because they don't physically fight back (with the exception of Eddy, sometimes). Kevin's image is the macho man/jock of the cul-de-sac. If she attacked Kevin and put herself in a position superior to him, this would upset the character dynamic. Plus, unlike the others Kevin might even retaliate, and that might not be acceptable to show on a kid's cartoon.
