The countermeasurement was useless, yes, but not because the Another was a teacher. The countermeasurement was useless because the calamity that year started in April, when Mei's sister died. You can only stop the calamity by ignoring someone, if it hasn't started yet. The only other way to stop the calamity is to kill the Another, and this method works every time, no matter how long the calamity has been going on for.
