Pakku had a reason for refusing to teach Aang: Aang disobeyed him. The reason is based on the system that Pakku is the teacher and Aang is the student and it\'s Aang\'s obligation to obey him. Going behind his back and teaching Katara when he refused to is not obeying him. The tribe chief dude upheld his decision, which means a teacher having the right to dictate terms to his studentss definitely a thing.

Pakku\\\'s \\\"wrong\\\" position: I can refuse to teach Aang because he went against my wishes.
His point is completely valid, and he is totally within his rights to make that choice. Could he have picked a better time to do it? Sure. Is it excessive? Quite possibly.
\\\"Potentially kill out his entire tribe\\\" is an exaggeration. The North isn\\\'t in any immediate danger of being wiped out that teaching Aang is 153% CRUCIAL, and wouldn\\\'t be even if Pakku weren\\\'t an ultra-powerful master waterbender.
Come to think of it, I needn\\\'t have mentioned Zhao killing Tui (La?) because Katara learning waterbending doesn\\\'t even matter if there\\\'s no waterbending to begin with.
The blatant facts of the show: Pakku refused to teach Aang because Aang went behind his back. Pakku is wrong because he\\\'s a sexist asshole AndThatsTerrible.
Except that he isn\\\'t wrong, as I already pointed out. But if you\\\'ve got another trope for Pakku being clearly right despite being treated as wrong, I\\\'m all ears. JerkassHasAPoint? (actually it might be, but we\\\'ll cross that bridge if we come to it).
He became Pakku\\\'s student. Can he have refused to go along with Pakku\\\'s decisions and still have become his student? He could have said he wouldn\\\'t become Pakku\\\'s student if he isn\\\'t going to teach Katara as well. He knows Pakku doesn\\\'t want Katara to be trained and wouldn\\\'t have trained Aang if he had made a point of both or neither. He still chose to learn under Pakku. So yes, he did agree to go along with what Pakku wanted. Call it an implicit condition if you like, but it\\\'s still there for all to see.
An excellent way to solve this would have been to have Arnook say \\\"While normally I would tell dat beeyotch to bounce, Ozai is wack and it\\\'s the Avatar\\\'s job to put as cap in his ass, so if the Avatar says train dat shorty, then you train dat shorty, mothafucka. I ain\\\'t got time fo\\\' dis shit.\\\" (sic)
The fact that he supported Pakku\\\'s decision could lend itself to either argument.
Acting like a ten year old to Katara is not important. Katara and Aang. Two different situations. Connected but different.
Also, I don\\\'t really see how that\\\'s halfway between my point and yours...meeting halfway would be more like \\\"Aang is just as wrong for ignoring Pakku\\\'s decisions as Pakku is for making them\\\".
