管教 (guǎn jiào) — (verb) to discipline, to supervise and educate; (verb, colloquial) to guarantee, to be sure; (noun) discipline, supervision, guidance
Definition
管教 means to discipline or supervise (esp. children) — narrower and more behavioral than 教育 ('educate' broadly) or 指导 ('guide/instruct'). The colloquial sense 'to guarantee' is a casual promise, not a formal commitment.
