Aspiring ninjas are basically in elementary school until they graduate on a jutsu that's irrelevant the moment they leave the Academy (Regular Bunshin is never used outside the Academy). Then, they're basically interns for a Jonin, who's primary job is babysitting while they do menial labor. Then, they graduate on an exam that's nothing like being a genin, where murder is expected and encouraged. Then, they're deemed ready to lead despite the fact that 2/3rds of the exam has nothing to do with leadership (Arguably only the written exam has a tangent to leadership). In fact, one can become chuunin without winning a fight at all.

Kakashi and the other jonin aren't teachers, they're babysitters. After all, the team is only a team until they become chunin, after which the Jonin is re-assigned.

So the conclusion is that technically Kakashi isn't even a teacher. Though in your gradebook, Asuma would be the worst: Ino Shika Cho already has it's formation and the jutsu are taught by the clan, so he would basically have to do nothing other than telling them why to fight. This is also true for Guy (because of Nejii) and Kurenai (three clan technique users). In fact, Kakashi is technically the best because he taught two genin while Guy only taught Lee.

Of course, Kakashi missed an important feud leading to a powerful rogue ninja that caused craptons of damage and arguably had no means to control the no1 valuable asset Kyubi. So on the other side he probably ranks the worst. It's an interesting Ninja system for sure.
