sheesh. I've been away and having difficulty catching up or even posting the messages I keep starting to write.

How gross that girl spat in the teacher's drink. That's so gross. Aren't there laws about doing that sort of thing? If you spat in a policeperson's face here, you'd be arrested. Saliva can carry all manner of germy jims. ICK.

I remember when my children were young and a lot of the kids would even share their water bottles at school and the school brought in a no-share policy across the whole school.

She did the right thing. The situation called for immediate action. I'm so sorry she's now dealing with all this other drama. sheesh. I don't know, curious. I think we just need to do what we believe is 'right' and then deal with the consequences but it can be a really hard lesson as she's learning.

The school needs to step up to the plate here and sort this all out so that she's not hurt or harrassed anymore.

I would have done what Lil'Monkey and the other girls did. I can't imagine I would have just sat there and let the guy drink it either.

Tell her I am trying to whip up as much puss as possible to give this girl the evil ***** eye.

I'm sorry she was subjected to this.

There are so many excellent teachers-and they are so underpaid-and then there are the others.

One of my kids had a teacher pick up a condom and then walk around touching kids with it-same teacher told an African American kid that she was surprised he got an answer right-that it was the first time she had ever had a black kid know the answer to a question-the list goes on...Last year one of the middle school teachers picked up a boy and slammed him into the wall in front of the other kids-he is still teaching there this year.

I hope today's a better day.

**gettin' my horse saddled up just in case**

Lil monkey and family are in my prayers today.....
