That said, I'm not comfortable with the idea of teaching that the second student committed a worse offense than the other two. Whistleblowing is worse than doing something wrong in the first place?
I'm not sure that's what Xiphius was saying. It's not totally clear to me, but my impression was that the second student told the third student in a malicious/teasing way, as a way to hurt the second (and possibly the first, as well). In that sense, yes, it was worse.
