At the time of the biting the student may hold on to other students with his teeth and I do not want to get in trouble by having to physically take the child off of the other student. Any recommendations that are law abiding and will get the issue fixed at the time of the incident before the bite goes far enough to brake skin. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would start off by having the student sit separately from the rest of the students, most likely in a seat close to my desk/instructional area so I can monitor them closely. I would then work with the student one-on-one to discuss why they are doing this, what they can do instead, how that makes others feel and hurts them, etc. I would document all incidents, keeping a record of the who, what, where, when, and result. I would notify administration of the student and their actions and ask who I should call in that situation. I would also personally look into getting certified in handling these situations. I want to make sure I am able to met the needs of all of my students, and protect all of my students too.
