That requires she be intentionally portrayed as a bad teacher, which isn't the case as she's not ported as the opposite of a good teacher. Agree she's flawed but this is more Informed Ability as not touched on by the work.

* AntiMentor: Celestia is a good mentor in magic considering that all her known students are immensely powerful. However, her teachings in the magic of friendship is ''sorely'' lacking, possibly because she's spent the last 1000 years as TheAloner. She certainly tries to encourage her students to make friends, but both of her most recent students spent their time under Celestia's tutelage being antisocial shut-ins, only making friends when outside circumstances forced them. In fact, her only student who had a good grasp on friendship was Radiant Hope in the comics, who was manipulated by her "friends" into unleashing an AncientEvil. Woops.

* ParentalSubstitute: [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/12/spikes-original-backstory.html Word of God]] mentions that Spike was reared by Celestia. However, this is in conflict with some later material. Most notably, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue40 Issue #40]] of the main series of comics has it that Celestia only reared Spike from the time from when Twilight hatched him to the time when she began attending Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, at which point she handed care of him to Twilight. Assuming that there wasn't a delay of more than a year or so between Twilight passing the entrance exam and her actually starting school, this would mean Celestia only reared Spike for a few months at most. From there, Twilight reared Spike more or less on her own. However [[{{Flashback}} flashbacks]] in "Sparkle's Seven" show Spike being raised alongside Twilight and Shining Armor by their parents.

* LyingByOmission: Downplayed. She doesn't leave it out maliciously, but when recounting the history of Sombra and the Crystal Empire, she uses passive voice to describe how Sombra was overthrown and turned to shadow. The visuals, meanwhile, show quite clearly that Sombra's defeat was at the hooves of Celestia and Luna themselves, implying that Celestia is intentionally leaving out her own part in events.

He's straining with all his might, while Celestia is just smirking at him. Justified, since she is a powerful Alicorn, a species that has the strength of an Earth Pony but to the maximum level.
