In this paper, we compare the educational-political conceptions of Comenius and Skinner, presents in The Great Didactic and Walden II. We problematize if their overestimation of the teaching method - as if it were an infallible assurance of education success - is a sufficient criteria to take their theory as siblings. Following the idea that it is structurally impossible to control the effects of education, we verify that in Comenius, different from Skinner, occurs an expressive decline of such methodological infallibility. This difference derives from their radically distinct way to conceive politic and to deal with the aims and impossibilities of politics and education.
