You mentioned how the sensei didn't teach anything other than life lessons, but then there is Guy, who fully devoted himself to teaching and helping Lee. Perhaps what the genin learns is decided by a few factors like what the sensei is willing to teach them and what the genin themselves try to learn on their own.

I mean, Kakashi taught the Chidori to Sasuke and later helped Naruto with his own element. This is one of the many things Kishimoto never quite settled.
