It is a phrase used in English but the hints for 'duro' do not suggest 'firm' Another English idiom for this would be 'I held my ground'
It is discouraging to participate in activities when you know you cannot succeed, and frustrating to have to repeat entire lessons over and over because of unanswerable questions. Perhaps it is intentionally structured that way, as you say, maybe to force repetition or to make definitions stand out in your memory by being associated with anger.
