'The school claims to care immensely about student mental health… yeah right! We decided to teach them a lesson.' : Veterinary Students Fed up With Toxic School System, Cue Malicious Compliance

School systems are known for hypocrisy; most students just suck it up until they graduate. I was definitely one of those students. Professors have such high expectations, justifying them according to past precedent. You’ll often hear them say ‘Well in my day, we had it so much worse. You’re lucky that…’  while proceeding immediately to make you feel very unlucky.

You’re not suffering enough! How dare you? This seems to be (ironically) even more accentuated in medical school. These students in question were told they had the ‘option’ to come to the lab early but it became rapidly clear that this was an expectation (not an ‘option’), and that they had to skip lunch in order to achieve this. These veterinary students had had enough. They decided to ‘teach the school a lesson’, by complying with the written rules, rather than the unspoken agreement every class actually seems to have.
