Summary

A good teacher knows how to strike a balance between challenging students and maintaining their engagement. By creating the right amount of tension in the learning environment, teachers can keep students motivated, curious, and actively participating in their education. This tension serves to push students outside their comfort zones, encouraging them to explore new concepts, think critically, and problem-solve. However, excessive tension can lead to undue stress and hinder learning progress. Therefore, a skillful teacher understands how to cultivate a healthy level of tension that fosters growth and sparks enthusiasm for learning.
