Abstract
For many engaged in qualitative research with human participants, a common question can often arise: What happens when gatekeepers block access to participants? The multitude of themes of resistance used by school administrators to prevent public school teachers across Canada from taking part in an investigation of personal perspectives of secularism in their professional workspace is explored in depth. This research dilemma was overcome by the use of critical inquiry and the development of a “tree of responses” to respond to each attempt to halt professional dialogue nationwide. With this approach, our target of 120 teacher participants was achieved, allowing us to not only delve into secularism in schools but also consider the notions of teachers’ rights to participate in research along with the fear and confusion that can arise with the alleged sensitivity and controversy this topic raises in some of the minds of today's educational leaders.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
