From what I can tell, Kakashi was meant to train them too, but from what we have seen other than tree walking, he done nothing. Not how to fight, nor new skills, how to act and react in the field or anything like that. It was to make sure that any problems that they had was fixed as soon as possible and not wait to fix them. So if he's only a captain of his team, he's still a bad one for not making sure his team is at the best. It could only be me, but that how it feels to me.

Also as a captain, it was his job to get the jobs for his team, so it was down to him that Team Seven didn't have many jobs.

As to why Kakashi, he was the captain of his team, and as they say the team is as strong as the weakest link and Naruto and Sakura were the weakest links. So he would need to fix the problems, train them to fight against tougher ninja. Again, this could be just me but that's how I feel. okay to go on the first part, he is older then them by a long shot, by about 16 years atleast ands it is japan, senpai wouldn't work since its to show resepct (and sometimes to show love) to a person, sensei is the only other way to show it to a person that is older then you(By a substantial amount). to your point that hes ment to train them, he trained sasuke and naruto was okay with everything, and he wanted to train sasuke so he wouldn't go down the path of revenge, sasuke was taught the most out of any of them and the team itself was genin and being a ninja is a sign of a right of passage into adulthood for a shinobi, once you have the head band your an adult and should learn and train yourself, and if your going to say his main goal was to train his team, the person he had hte most in common with at thier age was Sasuke and he saw Sasuke was going down a dark path, also he knew about naruto(and I might make a thing to ask if kakashi knew who naruto was) and if kakashi knew naruto's father, he would want naruto to be trained by either jiraiya(who neither kakashi or no one in the village knew was back) but becuase he wasnt there he decided to send him to the jonin that teaches the person who the people think will be the next generations hokage, if anything Kakashi did the right thing sneding him there, but also kakashi is the captain yes but most times missions where handed out to the captians and it was first come first serve, Kakashi is known to being late, so it was lucky he even got 7 missions to begin with, plus it was a ongoing joke in the first half of the series before the chunin exams, of Kakashi running late, they where in the land of the waves for a month, we dont know how long it took them to get to the land of the waves but if it took 2 or 3 weeks that is 8-11 weeks in total that they where out making it be 2 months to almost 3 months, being half the time, we saw only teh cat mission and teh Mission tot eh land of teh waves, more then likely the land of teh waves happened tewards the middle of the 6 month period mreaning tehy only had 1 week left before the chunin exam arc began, Kakashi was more then likely late and only got like a mission every week or two, and missions are baught most of the time, if anything It could of been a dry season for the missions, and a cat mission seems to happen with every genin group during times of peace, with Itachi, Naruto, and Boruto having them. I will have to argue about the weak link being naruto, the weakest link of going rogue was sasuke, the weakest link of not doing team work was sasuke, sakura might of been the weakest link in terms of ninjutsu and taijutsu and genjutsu but anruto in terms of taijutsu he just needed the basics for the first part of the series up utnil the chunin exams as he used sheer numbers to overwhelm his parties, he has enough chakra control to make thousonds of clones, when he was in the school and maybe a month after he got out of the training school he would of had poor chakra control, he relies most on sheer numbers for most of the series up utnil he gets the rasengan and then he still uses sheer numbers wehn ninjutsu just wont work.
