Lecturing is Easy, Teaching is Hard

Lecturing after a fashion is easy enough ; teaching is a very different affair. ... The transmission of ideas from one mind to another, in a simple unequivocal form, is not always easy ; but in teaching, the object is not merely to convey the idea, but to give a lively and lasting impression; something that should not merely cause the retention of the image, but in such connection as to excite another process, ' thought.'

Notes:

Planting ideas in students' heads of different backgrounds and experiences is a difficult task.
