Cinder had problem keeping up with Glynda, who was completely calm and unfazed the entire battle. Also, Glynda showed much more versatility:

Cinder has control over Fire thanks to the Fire Dust on her clothes, and aparently can use it to make obsidian weapons. Glynda, however:

-Has fucking telekinesis that so far has shown no significant limits. And we both know, I hope, that Telekinesis>Any close-range weapon.

-Can make ice rain from the sky, and I mean real, pointy ice.

-Can create some clouds with lighting running along them. Sure, sounds small, but it helps at blocking the enemy's vision.

-Can create almost instantly some kind of "shield" more than strong enough to block explosions right in front of her face with 0 damage caused to her. It even blocked the goddamn shockwave of the explosion. And the explosion was made with fire Dust, which is exactly what Cinder uses.

And like Cinder, doesn't show much problem moving around with those heels, so mobility is pretty equal between the 2.

Through versatility and strength alone, Glynda is superior when compared to Cinder. I'm speaking using the facts granted by the show itself, while you seem to assume Cinder is just as strong, if not stronger, than Glynda and probably even Ozpin. Given her combat performance in the show compared to Glynda, that's pure speculation, and like all speculation, it can be easily proven false later on.

I speak with facts granted, you speak with theories proposed. If you honestly think you're right, then you're either expecting too much of the writers, or are too blind and naive to see it. If Cinder proves she can be as strong, or stronger, than Glynda or Ozpin, I shall say she is, but until then, I won't. In other words: False until proven otherwise by the show itself.
