Perhaps because the approval of peers means more to them than the approval of authority figures?
I hear a math teacher tell the story that he started his class one day by having students compute the percent of people in the room who were female. He did this in two classes, and in both instances the first student to give a response gave a wrong answer. Why? Because the student failed to count the teacher as a "person."
How can one respect the authority of someone who has been ob<x>jectified as a nonperson?

It's not that, they just assumed it only meant the class, it's natural
