 | I'd get a little more politely assertive. Do some research on resolving biting, and schedule an appt with the director. Show her the documentation, go over each point and ask her if these things are being done. Ask her for a specific game plan. Exactly what is she telling her staff to do to resolve this? And why does she think it is not being resolved? Suggest that she change her strategy if it is ineffective for a certain period of time. Ask her when biting first started in this classroom, how many children it started with, and whether the number of biters has increased. I'd really push this. Why does she think this is happening? Remind her that she's required to provide a safe environment by law. I think you need to stimulate this director to come up with some new ideas because it's not just one biter, it's a problem in her classroom. Verify that the ratio in her classroom is within legal guidelines. I'd ask her flat out what is the ratio in the class, what is the legal ratio, and that perhaps it is too high. Then schedule another appt two weeks later, and reiterate. The sqweeky wheel gets the grease. Let her know that you want this resolved and you are not going away and it's her job to come up with a way to resolve it. |
