classrooms often rely on
punishments to deter
misbehavior.

for their students, but they
also provide guidance and
feedback to help students
meet those standards.

by few rules and little
structure. Permissive
teachers often allow
students to make their own
choices, even if those choices

permissive style, but it also
includes a high level of
emotional support. Indulgent
teachers often focus on
meeting students' needs,

misbehavior.
