I don't understand tattle tales and snitches?

We are raised to follow rules. If someone is not following a rule, shouldn't someone tell a person in charge? I remember as a kid I was told to follow rules and to tell the teacher if someone isn't, and yet, the teacher called me a tattle tale. It's just really confusing to me.

Well It depends. If someone is doing something bad like someones life could be in danger than yeah. but if they're on their phone in class etc. It's their business

But why should the severity of the rule being broken matter? Where does one draw the line to maintain order?

If someone breaks the rule, Its their fault. They need to Learn their lesson.

Wouldn't they still learn the lesson if a person tells on them and they receive the punishment?

DAVIDMCDAVID

I guess so. I just don't say anything. Unless someone's life was in danger.
