Students' Resistance in the Classroom
Abstract
This article describes subtle resistance of students in upper middle‐class high school classrooms who work toward achieving school success. This dialectical attitude of resistance and compliance is interpreted as being influenced by a teaching approach that attributes superiority to academic school knowledge and that promotes a recitation style of classroom interaction. It is argued that such an approach does not take into account adolescents' language and interests even though it goes along with upper middle‐class academic aspirations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
