The ultimate teaching technique

100% learning all the time. Neat, or nasty? Neurological understanding of how we learn is set expand over the next decades. via this increased understanding we may establish better teaching methods. if this is true, what could be the consequences.
Imagine walking into the classroom and using this method, and all students leaving with an absolute understanding of the concepts they should learn. neat huh
Then think of all the other ways this learning will be applied, nasty! Ultimate control of thinking and all that goes with it.

Is there a reason why learning, and by implication teaching is hard? Could it be that we have developed an evolutionary defense against ultimate teaching methods. This would have its basis in the distant past of our development and almost certainly has no connection with protecting us. Although its only a tiny message of solice to those who are struggling with teaching and wish to improve, it helps me appreciate the complexities of learning and teaching, and see a possible 'why' it should be so hard
