lesson
What teachers impart
A lesson is a period of instruction: piano lessons, driving lessons, a history lesson.
By extension, it's anything that teaches through experience: Let that be a lesson to you.
To learn your lesson is to be changed by a painful experience.
To teach someone a lesson is to punish them in a way meant to correct behavior.
