If they can't stop 16 kids from biting with 2 adults in the room, shouldn't it be common sense that they either need a different plan or more adults?
Typically, the method most commonly used is termination of the biter or the parent making the most noise. Don't shoot the messenger.
Reread their biting and behavior policy, remind them of it if it does become a problem.
They can only do a couple of things legally: shadow and distract. Both require 1/1 ratio. They can only do that so long until every other kid is basically ignored or the biters are gone. That is why biting is the most common thread topic here. Biting is a losing game for all of us, nobody wins.
