Its primary goal is to illuminate the prevalence, root causes, and consequences of teacher bullying while proposing effective interventions to foster a healthier educational environment. Through an analysis of these legislative frameworks, including qualitative data from interviews, survey outcomes, experts’ reaction to the situation, and policy analysis, this research aims to shed light on the dynamics of teacher bullying. By identifying various forms of bullying experienced by teachers and highlighting the challenges they face, this study contributes to a better understanding of the complexities surrounding this issue. Moreover, it seeks to provide actionable insights for policymakers, teachers, and stakeholders to implement proactive measures that promote a supportive and respectful school environment, balancing teachers’ well-being and students’ well-being.Show less

Though this process only became widespread within the last few decades, its origins are rooted in the political turmoil that occurred during the American Civil Rights movement more than 50 years ago. By implementing critical race theory, this study investigates the relationship between long standing racism and the push to privatize U.S. public schools by using the New Orleans public school system as a focal point. Court documents, historical accounts, interviews, era specific newspaper articles and prior research into the field are all used to accomplish this aim. Analyzing these materials illustrates how current arguments in favor of privatization were born out of white resistance to racially integrated public schools in the mid-20th century, and still echo the talking points used during the Civil Rights era to challenge forced integration. Based on these analyses, this study concludes that the American charter school movement is poorly regulated, racially biased, and creates classroom inequality in New Orleans, and throughout the United States.Show less
