Actually, I would ask for proof and make sure all of her/his information is durable and real.I would ask the child myself what happened,and also some parents say these things so they can sue and gain a large amount of money.Keep your gaurd up for parents like that.

I would first stand there and listen to everything that the parent had to say. Then I would ask to see the bite mark. I would then ask the child who bit them, where it happened (if the child is old enough). I would apologize and explain that that the child either did not tell me, didn't cry, or that I wasn't aware that the situation occurred. But, I would try to keep a better eye on it. If the child is able to tell you which child bit them then assure the parent that you will write an incident report, inform the other child's parents, and try to make sure that it did not happen again. If the parent is so irate that they can not be reasoned with get the director of the school there immediately. That is what the director is there for. The teacher is responsible for keeping contact with the parents. However, when a situation arises where the teacher is unable to reason with the parent then it is time for the Director to step in. Never snap back at a parent, always seem sympathetic to the situation, and show genuine concern. If this isn't enough for the parent, let the director handle it.

First of all, you are legally bound to inform the parent of any injury you are aware of. Second, just listen with out reacting as best you can and inform them that you were not aware, because if you were aware you would notify them immediately. Explain that at this age it is developmental growth. Since their vocabulary is so limited this age group communicates the best way they know how, and sometimes that is biting. Make sure you document every time any student gets bitten and you let both sets of parents know of the event. The biter needs to know that not only are you disappointed but so are the parents. Get them behind you, so when it is them on the receiving end!

lilmisstickle has some great suggestions I would add that when the parent has calmed down maybe including some literature for her to read on children and biting that will reassure her it is normal

Look at lilmisstickle.........response. It is hard to improve on that. I wish I had her as one of my teachers here in Japan. Choose hers as the best answer.

And people complain that teachers are overpaid!!!!! Tell the parent not to worry, you had all your kids vaccinated for rabies.

Then obviously I would think she is pointing her finger at me, or I wasn't watching the kid with full attention, and I would feel a little guilty/?!
