This is the latest news around my parts...my PD to boot.
http://www.wben.com/Tapes-Released-Between-Teachers--Dontre-Jones/17686639
Which brings to the conversation our societies attitude towards snitching, tattleing, telling, etc.
While the "gang" connotations of "Snitches get stitches" is one issue, isnt it in our common culture not to be "a tattle tale"? Who here wasn't told by their parents that it was somehow "bad" to tattle on a sibling? Who was ever given the impression that it was culturally "ok" to tell on your friends when they did something wrong?
When did we get to the point where even teachers are telling murder suspects that another student is "snitching" on them?
What is the right way to raise our children where "informing" is concerned? You would think that it would be common sense that reporting a murder would be different from telling on a friend who shoplifted a 6 pack....is it?
