[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand.  If she corrected her son for spitting, why would the other parent then proceed to tell her that the kid spat at them?  If she didn't correct him yet, the only response to the other parent is, "yes, I know, sorry," and then proceed to correct the kid.  What other interaction with the other parent would anyone have at that point?[/quote]

Perhaps the other parent didn't hear the correction or it was so subtle that they didn't perceive it was a correction. My SIL places her hand on her sin's arm lightly to signal he should stop. She has stated to us her reasons for doing so are to prevent a bigger outburst, but strangers on the street don't lie that. They either miss her response or see it as an under reaction.

There's also the shock factor. As a student teacher, I was bitten by a student. I was so shocked that I probably said "He bit me." three or four times in the first couple minutes. I get spat upon either accidentally or impulsively a couple times a year by students. I have to document each of those incidents as a contact with bodily fluids. If it was intentional, I have to document in the child's behavior chart. It doesn't shock me anymore, but legally, my employer doesn't regard it as NBD.[/quote]
