Quotes from the episode

Everybody who has taught has run into student resistance in one form or another.
—Anton Tolman

We need to start seeing student resistance as a signal.
—Anton Tolman

When they’re resisting, they’re telling me something.
—Anton Tolman

A common error … is to believe that a lot of student resistance is because of the students themselves.
