Dumbledore has not had good luck with magic rings, and he's not nearly so noble as Gandalf. I doubt being anywhere close to that ring would result in anything other than a new teleporting instant death cursing dark lord that rides a broom around at night.
Some rando: "It's the witch!"
Dumbledork: "Don't assume my gender!"
A now groaning rando: "No, he wields the corrupting power of the The One Joke!"

Might as well be, ask JK Rowling and she'll tell you that was always the intent of the book

Someone has not read Hogwarts: A History! You cannot apparate and disapparate anywhere on Hogwarts school property.

Dumbledore is basically the Obi-Wan Kenobi of Harry Potter, he could probably apparate to Mount Doom based upon a sufficient enough description from Elrond.

My phone started buzzing again. Finally, I was waiting for something to do. I picked up the phone, pushing the "accept call" button despite not recognizing the number.
"Hello?"
"Is this... uh, Sam?"
"You can call me Sam."
"Call you Sam?"
"I don't want my name stolen, no offense."
"Not all fairies are like that."
"Ah, didn't realize you were one. Apologies."
"No, no, I get it."
"Anyway, Mrs...?"
"I'll respond in kind: you can call me Sylva."
"Sylva, then. What do you need? You called the number."
"Yeah. You know how fairies can't touch iron?"
"Because it burns, yeah. Silver has similar issues for some other supernatural folk."
"Exactly. And I have a whole bunch of cooking utensils I got as a gift that have enough iron in them to be a problem."
"Oh, I see." I grabbed a nearby notepad and pencil, and started writing. "So you need me to buy some non-iron utensils, and come pick up the old ones."
"Yeah."
"Do you have any specific things you need? Certain magical wards, or some sort of crystals or... something?"
"Nope. Just not-iron."
"Okay. What do you need exactly?"
"I need five forks, spoons, and knives. And then... two of those big pots for soup. I also want to try my hand at potions, so if you could find a cauldron and a big spoon that'd be great."
"Absolutely! That all?"
"Yep. Thanks."
"No problem! Where should I drop them off?"
"I'll meet you at that... is it the Flower Cafe?"
"Yep, I've been there. That it?"
"Think so."
"Awesome! See you soon!" I hung up, stood up, and stretched. I liked helping people with whatever it was they needed. People are willing to pay for help, and I'm available, so... why not? It makes me cash, and friends. What's not to love?

Uninterested in educating others, perhaps. We agree.

I feel like Gandalf in academia would be more of a researcher who found actually teaching to be an annoying necessity best foisted upon aides. He shows no reluctance whatsoever to dive into the books for literal years at the beginning of Fellowship to research the ring. I agree that he’d handle Voldemort in an afternoon, though.

Enchanted items have set destinations but teleporting just requires a clear picture but is still risky if you have never been there because you never really know a place unless you have been there. There is also the risk of leaving body parts behind if you are untrained which is why there was so much supervision teaching it and why several other methods are so widely used even by people who can teleport.
