"Teach Me, Litchi Sensei!" is an example of a large loreverse being squashed into a dull teaching lesson. In this segment concerning Dust I would've made a scene where Weiss comments on a Schnee Dust shipment, then Blake rebukes that statement and the ensuing debate would have valid evidence from both sides to back up their arguements which we the viewers can gobble up as exposition and perhaps some sort of interesting character conflict could sprout from that heated debate. I think exposition should aim to be simliar to how they did exposition on the other countries through the boardgame, very subtle and applicable to the world the lore establishes. However RWBY probably doesn't have the time for idle conversations and I'm no studio director so while what they did was rather boring, I'm sure they are well justified in their decision for this episode.
