  Case: Biting
If a student is biting other students in class, what and how am I legally supposed to interfere? 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 check with the school policies and notify the administration. I would talk to the student and tell them that it is never ok to hurt another student and that if they are upset or angry they need to communicate with words. I would write up an incident report to give to both the parents of the biter and bitee to sign and bring back.
