Then that schools management is crap. At my kid's school they give warning forms if it's minor, meeting and warning form if it's a major transgression. 3 forms or 1 very major transgression and your contract is canceled. Hasn't happened yet but this isn't a "rich man's" school so I can imagine at a school full of rich people your scenario might just be expected.
That school had the worst headmaster imaginable. Took my kids out and put them in a Model-C school.

New school is outside our catchment area, but my kids' academics and sport, got them in.

Much happier now...

Why? There's bullying in private schools too though he might be lucky and end up in the water polo team at Bishop's.
I think by private school, he means private school nearby to where he lives and knows that all community is peaceful.

Outlawing slurs is stupid, outlawing the blind discrimination (socially not criminally) behind the slurs makes more sense, "engelse" is also a slur sometimes.... it's a normal innocent word.

I never understood the "dutchman" slur though.... sounds like something said by a 10jr old that does not understand it's real meaning to hurt another child.

You can imagine my disappointment when at the cinema I didn't get to see Frikkie flying around singing a R Kelly song.

Go watch that pirate movie they said,you'll see the flying Dutchman they said!:(

100% agreed, you don't stop racism the way it is currently, people are just becoming more hateful

I get the feeling that Panyaza now has some handlers. This goes against just about every inclination he's shown in the past.
Trying to be nice after R1 billion wastage in his department.
