I think it's only natural for your daughter to stomp back, after 12 times.  I think she shows that she DOES know right and wrong since she didn't stomp back after the 1st time like some kids would.  Good for her! 

Probably the only other way she could have ended it better would have been to walk away and surround herself with other friends.  Then he would have had a harder time going after her.

I am surprised, however, that the teacher was gone wit no backup.  In my younger days, the teacher wouldn't leave the room unless another adult would come in and supervise for 5 minutes.

I think it may be a bit difficult for a PE teacher to get a back-up in a quick and fast situation like that was.

My daughter's school is rewarding the children with good behavior all quarter by being able to dress up like their favorite superhero today. (If they have three of more infractions in a single week, they didn't get to do this. This daughter has been sent home with notes twice in three years, and the other time it was for kissing a boy.) My child is dressed up like Larry Boy from the Veggie Tales, complete with cape, mask, and "plungers" on the sides of her hat. Hope nobody tries to pick a fight today...

I was very easy to pick on when I was a child. I was always doing silly things and was very gullible, so I was an easy target. I would have probably been scared of that boy for the rest of the school year if I had been in her shoes.
