Another aspect would be the lack of urgency for very long lived peoples. If you have 100 years to get your act together you're going to probably spend a lot of time goofing off and watching elves be awesome rather than actually learning or practicing. And your teachers are going to have a hard time cracking down on you because... there's really plenty of time for that later.

Picture a school where any given student might not show up for months at a time, where teachers randomly decide they want to journey to a distant land for greater clarification on the subject they learned from their teacher decades ago. With dozens of years until graduation would there even be a substitute?
