Re: dilemma
You're in a potential position of weakness as no school likes to have this said of them (especially private schools - they'll loose pupils). So the powers that be will likely hold a grudge against you and your family.
Your call, really. The noble thing to do is get stuck in but ypu might pay the price. I've learnt that all you end up doing is getting an ulcer and little if anything changes ("there's no room for bullying in the NHS - it's already full of it!")

I'd go for the youtube solution...

video tape him calling black kids the n word and then show it to all your black friends and then find out where he goes after hours and tell your black friends where they can find him.

Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!
In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.
Re: dilemma
Kind of a difficult situation. No idea how it works in the USA but over here it's incredibly hard to get a teacher suspended or fired. I've only ever heard of one such situation where a teacher actually assaulted a pupil.
Also the fact the guy's employed by a private school will probably make it harder as well.

Re: dilemma
So no one else thinks that a petition is a good choice? It's quite a popular thing here for school kids to take out petitions about things they don't like at their schools and get them changed.

if the school doesnt listen to a dozen angry parents they wont listen to a dozen angry parents who sign a petition.

I vote one for youtube clip solution.
And possibly start a facebook group or something.
You have to do something that far or the school won't do anything about it.
Confronting him your self, or getting others to confront him is the worst solution. At best, he'll ignore you. At worst you could get sued if you end up going to far to the point of violence.
Anyway, hopefully everything works out for your brother
Re: dilemma
Ah. So we're talking a rather small school then. My school was fairly large at about 600 kids, so if there was something that people felt strongly about you could easily get over 1000 signatures from parents and students, which is quite hard for the school to ignore. But that's strange since I thought that most small schools were very caring places. This is beyond my experience so I can't really offer any advice.
