Not seen it in a while, but the character was pretty well developed, more so than what would normally be associated with the magic negro trope. Also, isn’t the majority of the story focused on the students resisting his attempts to help them? This would be opposed to one of the defining features of the trope, that the white leads take the fact that the black character is there to help them for granted. Their existence in the context is taken for granted as well.‘To Sir With Love’
