So Zuko grows up with Hama and Jeong Jeong (or more likely Zhao since Ozai couldn't talk his father into sparing the legend) and somehow Long Feng (cause things never can go well for our boy) as his teachers, so that by the time he meets any of the Gaang he's convinced that all teachers make your skin crawl and are horribly manipulative and that's part of being a good teacher since his father was always telling him he had the best teachers...and then he has to learn airbending which is all about freedom.
