Wow, that's a tough situation!. I hope you are okay, and feel safe!. First off, your brother could probably use a hug and someone to talk to!. But don't pressure him if he doesn't feel like talking!. Just be there for him, and let him know that it's okay to talk, if he wants!.
Both of you should also talk with a trusted adult like a minister or school counselor about your dad's violent outburst!. No one deserves to be hit or be in a situation where they don't feel safe!. You didn't say if your mother is in the home, or if she witnessed what happened, but you might also want to talk to her about it, as well!.
I wish you all the best, and will hope for you to be safe!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First off, go sit with your brother!.
Tell him that your dad lost control!.!.!.this is about your dad, not him!. It was terribly wrong of your dad to bring up the past, to question his intelligence, and most of all, to resort to physical violence!.
You need to take this problem to a trusted adult!. This is too much for you to handle on your own!. Help your brother figure out which adult to talk with!.
Remember - this is NOT about your brother!. This is about your dad and his inability to control himself!.
Give him a hug for me, too!.
Be well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

try to console your broth, but don't push the idea on him because he may not like being sympathized!. try to put your self in the space between your brother and your dad so that they cannot fight with each other!. also try to give them both space!. you dint want your dad thinking that you wont let him by!.
if that doesn't work, try to help tutor your brother and show your dad how hard it is to get a 4!.0 GPA!. (even if you don't have one)show him that it is imposable to reach his expectations!. maybe then he could lower them to met your brothers standardsWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'm really sorry that happened!. Your dad didn't need to over-react like that!. If you want to comfort your brother then wait till he's calmed down a bit and go ask him if he's okay (well of course he's not okay, but the question will let him know that you are open to listen)!. Be sympathetic and don't point fingers!. Maybe in the future you can offer to get him some help with his school work or you can suggest he see the school counselor for help!. I'm worried about your dad's reaction, but try not to mediate between your dad and brother too much!. They'll make you their communication vehicle and they need to handle their problems, not put them on you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You did not mention your Mom in this situation!. Is she part of this family!? If so, after tempers cool a bit, Mom should go up and have a talk with Dad telling him his relationship with his son is important and he needs to humble himself go down and apologize!.
If Mom is not part of the family and you have a good strong relationship with your father, then you could do this!. Would be a hard thing for you to do, but this is what family does in tough situations!. From what it sounds like your father does not usually result to hitting so he probably feels pretty bad about this and may need someone to help him make the correct decision!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
