ROME, Ga. - A high school is looking for a few good snitches.

Using revenue from its candy and soda sales, Model High School plans
to pay up to $100 for information about thefts and drug or gun
possession on campus.

Need some quick cash? Make up a ***** story or just repeat the one
that you overheard while standing at your locker, embellish, rat-out,
and you'll have money in no time.

If there's any place that rumor runs rampant, it's your local high school.

ROME, Ga. - A high school is looking for a few good snitches.

Using revenue from its candy and soda sales, Model High School plans
to pay up to $100 for information about thefts and drug or gun
possession on campus.

“It’s not that we feel there are any problems here,” said Principal
Glenn White. “It’s a proactive move for getting information that will
help deter any sort of illegal activity.”

Under the new policy, a student would receive $10 for information
about a theft on campus, $25 or $50 for information about drug
possession, and $100 for information about gun possession or other
serious felonies.

Informants will not receive the reward if they are involved in the
crime, White said.

No rewards nearby
At nearby Rome High School, there is no similar program because
students there have a rapport with officials and are comfortable
providing information, said Superintendent Gayland Cooper.

“We feel the reward is the kids knowing they have a safe school,”
Cooper said.

The idea for the program came from Kell High School in Marietta, an
Atlanta suburb. There, student tips earlier this year led to the
arrest of a classmate who had brought a handgun to school.

No Model High students have received the reward yet, but some
questioned the logic behind it. Jaime Parris, a senior, said that most
students already would tell faculty about anything that threatened
student safety.

“But if it’s not going to hurt other people, I don’t think many people
are going to tell on their friends,” she said.

Just what we need. A nation of stool pigeons and informants.

This reminds me of an incident which occurred at my high school just
after I graduated about 15 years ago. The principal posted a list of
symptoms of drug abuse all over the school which actually included the
names of about a dozen students the counselors had identified as
probable drug users because they had poor social skills, were loners
etc. The posters asked the students to keep an eye on those listed to
help them with their assumed problems.
I found out about this from a friend whose brother was still in
school. Their parents, both of whom visit Sturgis every year for the
motorcycle rally and frankly like a good fight, stormed down to the
office the next day and were shocked to discover a dozen other parents,
most of them lawyers, had beat them to the punch. The lists came down a
few hours later.
