One thing I have found nearly universal among the children who have attended the Konoha Ninja Academy during my tenure as Hokage is that they quickly tire of learning the basics. Indeed, many adults also have little patience for what ninja arts they view as 'mundane'. As a result, some unscrupulous teachers have in the past glossed over these techniques in favor of more 'interesting' jutsu, not realizing or not caring that by doing so they were severely stunting the potential growth of their students into properly skilled shinobi.

Of course the responsible teachers have always been promptly tarred, feathered, and marched through town on a rail whenever such actions came to light after I learned of this practice early in my first term as Hokage, as per the Sarutobi Education Reform Act.
