This reminded me of something I have been curious about. Re
tattling, how do you draw the line between "tattling" and "need to
know" kinds of things with your students? I fear that, sometimes
kids don't tell their teachers things that they really NEED to for
fear of "tattling." I understand the need to curtail the "he
breathed on me" "she looked at me" kind of stuff, but how do you
differentiate so that your students know they CAN tell you things
that SHOULD be told?
