When I was a guest parent at one of my son's kindergarten classes one of the kids told the teacher, "So and So said a bad word." The teacher responded with, "Don't be a tattletale." Later I heard her say, "Keep your mind on yourself" to another child. I talked to my wife and she said it is getting to be common. She says it helps keep order in the classroom.
My thing is are kids not going to tell when something really dangerous happens, like a kid is standing on top of a play structure. Or if kids are making fun of another kid. How are kids going to know when to tell and when not to tell?
