To be fair, both were pretty damn disrespected by the Avatar...

(although Jeong Jeong was very hot-tempered and didn't explain shit, both terms of why he refuse to teach you, and when he was teaching)

Jeong jeong told aang he wouldn't teach him because he had to learn the elements in order of the avatar cycle

Also when he agrees Aang is still too immature to handle fire bending despite already being a master in air bending but he is still just a silly kid and had a lot to learn and experience

No he literally send the guy to tell Aang, "you haven't mastered water and earth yet" and then told him to go away. because he could tell by just looking. Later he told Aang to his face, "you lack discipline, water is soothing and patient, earth is firm and steady, you need to learn those things before you are ready to learn fire bending. A rock won't throw itself without the bender but fire is alive, it will consume everything around it, you need to control it or risk losing everything to it" And he was right, Aang wasn't ready to master fire yet, he was impatient and not firm enough and burned Katara.

He explained perfectly well. Aang(and Roku) just didn't bother to listen.
