I hope she watches her food and her drinks

they might try to get even that way.
If the situation happens again with another spit offense or something, maybe a different way to go about that part without being a complete "snitch"??
maybe,
tell person something got in his cup or food so best to not eat or drink it.
you don't know how it got there.... even if you do know..
or pretend you are swatting at fly and drop a piece of paper or something into the cup or plate... so they won't eat or drink...
then they won't have to kow it had spit in it too...
Where it stands now..I think..
the principal has to deal with the teacher and any real threats.
So if any serious threats or actions - they need to be reported.
also if some words are left to blow over - they usually will.
a lot of it is all talk...by the tough ones
some kids like to keep the drama up esp ones with no real direction in their life.
if they see lil monkey carrying on with her life they will move on to something else.
