Some fans say that Gojo was a bad teacher to his students.
Gojo doesn’t really explain things that he finds unimportant.
He’s got his own methods, and they also work.
Gojo is an endless source of Jujutsu Kaisen discussions. Fans agree that there have been a lot of weird choices about this character, and we’ve already talked about his achievements being pretty questionable. And this time his teaching skills are on the menu, so let’s decide whether he could be running for “teacher of the year” or not.
Not a good teacher?
Jujutsu Kaisen starts with Gojo taking Yuji in and trying to teach him cursed energy. He was a true mentor for the boy, explaining how things work and showing his own powers (and showing off in the process, of course). But as time passed, fans started noticing that maybe Gojo wasn’t the best one to teach Yuji. They think that Nanami and Todo did much more for the young sorcerer than Gojo. He didn’t even correct some crucial mistakes Yuji had, like his divergent fist.
A number of fans suggest that there wasn’t any real change, though. He was intentionally and consistently a bad teacher. Even in the movie, when he introduces Yuta and doesn’t explain anything about Jujutsu High to him.
Gojo has a different strategy
Gojo’s main goal was to make his students surpass him. And while teaching them was a good way to go, it wasn’t his way. He tried to lead them by showing an example. His example, that is. They had to see his true powers and understand how skilled he was, and that’s how Gojo wanted them to learn.
On top of that, Gojo has no interest in teaching basic or unimportant things to his students. He’s bored with a lot of things and doesn't see them as necessary. The aforementioned Yuta situation can be a good example. He doesn’t need to know what Jujutsu High is; he has no choice but to join it, so it doesn’t matter. Explaining the ranking systems to Yuji is also useless, he already exists outside of it due to Sukuna occupying his body.
Moreover, Gojo’s intention is not just to teach his students and make them into puppets who follow orders and rely on theory. He wants them to use their brains and be ready to fight for themselves. Gojo probably understands that he won’t be around forever, so it’s important for his students to be capable of acting on their own, which is something that they will, unfortunately, need.
His methods are just different.
