[quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent of two boys.

I can only comment on some of this.

3) Your son needs a new roommate.  There is no way to prove what was said to who.  But your son reported that he was hit, and there are racial issues being discussed.  The head of school should want this resolved by separating the kids.  That's the only way to get this kind of situation to die down.

5) Zero chain of custody for a 12 year old at boarding school sounds negligent.

People swearing is unprofessional but more common here.

I'd keep things calm and have a meeting with the head and say the school does not seem to be a fit and the roommate is bullying. Ask the head if they can give good exit recommendations or not.  See what the person says.

I think you only need a lawyer if you want to try to get money back.  These issues about swearing, an ingrown toenail, fights between kids don't sound like legal matters.

You didn't get the school product that you thought you were paying for.  Unfortunately, sometimes the consumer pays the cost of mistakes.[/quote]
