The only lesson you need to be taught is how to reason for yourself.
After that, you are taught nothing.
In reality, we shouldn't rely on earthly teachers, but on the Holy Ghost to guide us and teach us. Everything else is just data.
Are you certain ?
1 And an [a]Angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I had sworn unto your fathers, and said, I will never break my covenant with you.
11 ¶ Then the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lord, and served [g]Baal,
12 And forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt and followed other gods, even the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger.
13 So they forsook the Lord, and served Baal, and [h]Ashtoreth.
14 And the wrath of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers, that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about them, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.
15 [i]Whithersoever they went out, the [j]hand of the Lord was sore against them, as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn unto them: so he punished them sore.
--Judges 2 -- 1599 Geneva Bible

I don't get the point of that passage. Sounds like Israel obeyed Egypt rather than the Angel of the Lord.

Exactly.
We are supposed to follow God, nothing else, especially not men.
