“She Didn’t Have A Prayer Of Keeping That Job”: People Are Loving These Students’ Glorious Malicious Compliance That Got Teacher Fired

ADVERTISEMENT

Recently, a person shared a vivid memory of an incident with a teacher they had in their senior year of high school on the Malicious Compliance subreddit.

In a post that amassed 9.6k upvotes, the Redditor who goes by the nickname Lalalakee explained that they went to a Catholic school and took a religion course every year. “Our teacher (we’ll call her P) was the absolute worst. She was brand new, extremely homophobic, and basically hated anyone who wasn’t extremely Catholic,” the author recounted.

On one particular morning, the Redditor’s friend they refer to as “B” was speaking to a teacher before the class. “He made it right at the bell, but P had already locked the doors. Prayer began and one of our classmates snuck over to the door and let B in.

The teacher went into screaming mode, threatening to take the whole class of twenty kids to the principal if they didn’t tell her which student exactly was late to her class. “None of us said a peep because… snitches get stitches and end up in ditches,” and malicious compliance followed.

As children grow and learn, their relationships with teachers can be a determining factor in their educational success. However, not all students enjoy their teachers, and there can be a number of reasons why.

One of the most common reasons is that kids may feel intimidated by teachers who have stricter rules and expectations, making it difficult for them to feel comfortable and open up. In fact, being too strict with students in the classroom can have a negative impact on their learning experience. A teacher’s job should be to create an environment of learning, and being overly strict can be counterproductive.

Experts warn that when children feel like they are being constantly evaluated and judged, it can lead to anxiety and fear of failure. This can lead to decreased motivation and self-esteem and cause students to become disengaged in the learning process. Without a sense of trust and safety in the classroom, children may become reluctant to ask questions and take risks, which are necessary for learning and growth.

It can also lead to a lack of respect from students towards their teacher. If a teacher is too strict, children may not feel comfortable coming to them with questions or problems, as they may fear being judged or reprimanded. This can lead to students feeling unsupported and discouraged, and can ultimately have a negative impact on their academic performance.

Ultimately, a teacher’s job is to foster a safe and supportive learning environment. Being too strict with students can be detrimental to their learning, and should be avoided.

So I had to google this 7 pillars thing: Dignity, Solidarity, The common good, The option for the poor, Peace, Care for creation, The dignity of work and participation. So basically human rights with a cross slapped on top of it.

I love it that all the kids just looked at each other and without a word stood up for their classmate and themselves. Brilliant.

They didn’t stand up for everyone. They all just did what the Teacher told them

I love the OP's comment that most of them aren't religious now. Maybe the only thing catholic schools are good at is teaching people that religion is full of hypocrisy.

No we're good at a lot of other things in the non-religious areas. But yes, the religion teachers can excel at teaching the kind of lesson you mention. That - ironically - is one of the advantages of a religious education. As a math teacher, I never openly disagreed with the school's religious teachings. I didn't have to.
