Racial disparities in teachers' perceptions, interactions, and behaviors of students persist in the United States. Learning more about teachers' beliefs about the causes of racial inequity may help to explain the racial disparities that exist in teachers' behaviors and practice.

Since then, few studies have focused on teacher bullying globally and even lesser in Asia, where such a phenomenon…
