Are all the students just heartless individuals or are they just not 'snitches'?
Whats the diff?

the instant he said the word 'snitch' was the instant he ensured that anyone who came forward was going to be treated as one | ||

On topic, you can't really expect anything else in schools nowadays. I would never rat on someone if they did something like that but I would definitely confront them personally. If a kid gets in trouble with a principal, it won't change anything. He'll remain the same person. But if they hear something from another student, then maybe something might happen. (especially if you're an intimidating/influential person) | ||

And yeah i agree his word choicing was very very poor, but at my school so much shit happens that the principal gets so mad and chokes in front of the pa | ||

Not many people have never broken the rules and the fear is that if you "snitch" on someone, there is a higher chance someone will snitch on you. More like someone will make you get some stitches lol | ||

I would have no problem with if he was Atheist, Agnostic, or Mormon. It's just that I never understood the point of having something like that as your quote, especially on a starcraft website. And it is usually those people that seem to post with such an apathetic view on life. I'm hesitant to call them Emo kids because it would be wrong, but their similarities are becoming quite striking. Just an observation. | ||

The principal went on the PA and called for anybody to speak up if they had seen or heard anything and he MADE Sure to say that this would not be 'snitching' but helping the community. As soon as the announcement was over i could overhear people in my class saying "Anybody who snitches to the principal is a blah blah blah". It continued in the cafeteria as well and nobody even budged to go to the principal. Are all the students just heartless individuals or are they just not 'snitches'?
