Why do we teach our kids that 'snitching' is bad, when it is the same thing often as 'whistleblowing'? Why do we call it 'snitching' with such a negative connotation to it? When does our teaching evolve into the Blue Code and also the idea that 'boys don't tell on their mates' even when they cross a 'crime' line? Why don't we teach our kids the nuances important and help them build an intuition they can trust and then give them the courage to act upon it. 

I saw Armaggeddon Time on the flight to amrika this time. And here have been wondering how to talk and listen to my lil nephew about difficult questions, many of which even he tends to avoid or says he has 'already forgotten'; that last were his words to my asking him about his note of 'bad things my classmates did when the teacher went to the bathroom'.
