Recognizing these potential consequences, educational reform should pay more attention to teacher–student rapport since
the present research as well as previous studies show that teachers are responsible for the way pupils perceive and like different school subjects. Moreover, since teacher ideology of pupil control was the most important aspect in determining
pupil perceptions of their teachers, educational policymakers should urge the development of programs that deal with this issue. These programs should create and maintain educational settings that protect pupils and provide a positive psychological and educational climate to enable children to strive for their positive development.
