Remember everyone - if you are not getting pushback you are probably not being disruptive enough. The system is failing students and we need to disrupt the status quo. Some people are always going to find that hard. Pushback means you are making a difference!
Conversation overheard in my 8th grade algebra class: a boy (1st year in my class) said “I give up.” From across the room, another boy (3rd year in my class) shouted “you need to watch a @joboaler video!”
