And I think being able to interpret the passive feedback and respond appropriately is a large part of what makes a good teacher.

I think this is a lot of Nancy's point: it takes a good teacher to notice feedback. This suggests a sort of vicious circle: good teachers get better, but bad teachers stay bad.
