Love the story Sharon - that's today's teaching.
I too would not turn a kid in unless I had to (safety, a meaningful lesson, etc).
Had a very large and friendly 19-year old male student come to general chemistry lab drunk once. Of course, there was no lab for him at that time. We just kept him in the V.P.'s office until he'd sobered up. Several years later, I heard that he was a very successful worker with troubled children!
My only real complaint in teaching was always about the politics of it. I tended to see eye-to-eye with most of the parents, but at least here, if there was merit pay, it would go to those who play politics, not to footsoldiers like us.
