Nothing more to say than what almost everyone here has said. Let it go. She said police, I doubt she went to them.
May be not but the witnesses to the public event haven't witnessed the teacher apologising so therefore the crime stands in their eyes.
A second chance? But we don't know that this hasn't happened before?
That's exactly how I feel and hope that having the incident placed on record will clear my daughters names when the rumours start circulating within the school. And they will.
Anyway. Up to the missus now as to how she wants to proceed. I'm only a stupid farang and I do not understand Thai culture.
Did she apologize to the kids? Or just your missus?
If the teacher made others aware of the incident, she should let them know that it was a mistake and the items were found. Case closed. Apologising in private does not undo the harm she has caused if she made her accusations public and she has a duty to right the record. She could have just not told anyone she found them so her honesty needs to be taken into account.

We all know how sensitive people can be (not only Thais but it is heightened), she may feel embarrassed that she did the whole wai thing and feel demeaned and take it out on your children at a later date.
Apologising in private for a public incident isn't sufficient.

My missus has now decided to see if our daughters get any micky taken out of them come the start of the new term. If they do she intends to take things further. I'll be at the grog shop if they need me.
Never, ever underestimate the ability of a Thai to double down on stupidity. An apology has been offered and accepted. The social contract is complete. Going back and picking further at the issue could have all sorts of unintended consequences.
