    *   "Educational philosophy" refers to the philosophy *of* education (the study/theory of the process of education), not a philosophy that *provides knowledge* (instructive).

    *   Sense 1: "relating to the process of education" (Example: "educational psychology"). This fits perfectly. "Educational philosophy" is the study of the process of education.
    *   Sense 2: "providing knowledge" (Example: "an educational film"). This describes something that is instructive. A "philosophy" isn't typically described as "instructive" in the sense of a tool for providing knowledge to a student, but rather as a field of study *about* education.

    *   The context "educational psychology and educational philosophy" strongly aligns with Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1 is the correct choice.

    *   Context: "...since they will have passed courses in educational psychology and educational <t>philosophy</t>."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `philosophy%1:09:01::`: a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school (doctrine, philosophical system, school of thought, ism).
        2.  `philosophy%1:09:00::`: the rational investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics.
        3.  `philosophy%1:09:02::`: any personal belief about how to live or how to deal with a situation.

    *   The word "philosophy" appears in the phrase "educational philosophy," specifically as a subject of a college course ("passed courses in educational psychology and educational philosophy").
    *   "Educational philosophy" in an academic context refers to the study of the goals, forms, methods, and meaning of education. This is a branch of philosophy or a system of beliefs/doctrines regarding education.

    *   Sense 2 (`philosophy%1:09:00::`) is the general academic discipline (the rational investigation of existence, knowledge, ethics).
    *   Sense 1 (`philosophy%1:09:01::`) is a specific system of beliefs or a school of thought (doctrine, ism).
    *   Sense 3 (`philosophy%1:09:02::`) is a personal belief/approach to life.

    *   Is "educational philosophy" a *personal belief* (Sense 3)? No, it's a course of study.
    *   Is it the *general rational investigation of existence/knowledge/ethics* (Sense 2)? While it falls under the umbrella of philosophy, "educational philosophy" as a course usually teaches various *systems* or *doctrines* of education (e.g., perennialism, progressivism, essentialism).
    *   Is it a *belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school* (Sense 1)? Yes. "Educational philosophy" as a field of study often focuses on these systems of thought (doctrines/isms).

    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 1.
    *   Sense 2: "the rational investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics".
    *   Sense 1: "a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school".
    *   In the context of "courses in educational psychology and educational philosophy," it refers to the academic study of the theories and systems of education.
    *   Usually, when "philosophy" is used as a subject of study (like "Philosophy 101"), it's Sense 2. However, "educational philosophy" often refers to the specific *doctrines* (Sense 1) that guide education.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "doctrine, philosophical system, school of thought, ism".
    *   Let's look at the context again: "Progressive education... is far more interesting... since they will have passed courses in educational psychology and educational philosophy."
    *   The author is criticizing "Progressive education" (a specific school of thought/ism). The "educational philosophy" courses likely taught these specific systems.

    *   Sense 2 is the broad discipline.
    *   Sense 1 is a specific system/doctrine.
    *   "Educational philosophy" as a course title usually refers to the study of the *philosophies* (plural/systems) of education.
    *   However, in many WordNet-style disambiguation tasks, the academic subject is mapped to the general definition of the field (Sense 2).
    *   Let's check if "educational philosophy" fits "a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school" better than "the rational investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics".
    *   Actually, "educational philosophy" is the application of the rational investigation (Sense 2) to the field of education.
    *   But "Progressive education" is mentioned right before, which is a "school of thought" (Sense 1).
    *   If the course is "Educational Philosophy," it's the study of the *philosophies* of education.
    *   Let's compare:
        *   "I am studying philosophy" -> Sense 2.
        *   "The philosophy of the company is..." -> Sense 1 or 3.
        *   "The philosophy of education" -> This is a branch of philosophy.

    *   Looking at the candidate senses again:
        1. `philosophy%1:09:01::` (system of beliefs/doctrine)
        2. `philosophy%1:09:00::` (rational investigation)
        3. `philosophy%1:09:02::` (personal belief)

    *   In the phrase "courses in educational psychology and educational philosophy," "philosophy" is used as a field of study. The field of study is the "rational investigation" (Sense 2).

    *   Wait, let me double-check. If I say "I took a course in political philosophy," am I studying the *rational investigation* of politics (Sense 2) or a *specific system of beliefs* (Sense 1)? Usually, the course covers *multiple* systems of beliefs. Therefore, the course is about the *investigation* (Sense 2).

    *   Let's re-read the context: "It also provides teachers with a superior self-definition as a 'profession,' since they will have passed courses in educational psychology and educational philosophy."
    *   The author is being slightly sarcastic about the "profession" status. The courses are meant to provide a theoretical/academic foundation. This points toward the academic discipline (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1: "a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school"
    *   Sense 2: "the rational investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics"
    *   If the course is "Educational Philosophy," it is the study of the *philosophies* (Sense 1) of education, but the subject itself is the *investigation* (Sense 2).
    *   However, in many contexts, "philosophy" in "philosophy of X" refers to the *system of beliefs* (Sense 1) that guides X.
    *   Example: "The philosophy of the school is to encourage creativity." (Sense 1)
    *   Example: "He is a professor of philosophy." (Sense 2)
    *   Example: "He took a course in educational philosophy." (This is closer to the professor example).

    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "doctrine, philosophical system, school of thought, ism".
    *   "Progressive education" is an "ism" (Sense 1). The courses in "educational philosophy" likely cover "Progressive education" and other "isms".

    *   Let's reconsider Sense 2: "the rational investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics".
    *   Does "educational philosophy" fit this? Yes, it's the rational investigation of questions about education.

    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2 again:
        Sense 1 is a *specific* system (e.g., Marxism, Platonism).
        Sense 2 is the *general* activity/discipline.
        A "course in philosophy" is a course in the *discipline* (Sense 2).

    *   Wait, I just noticed the context mentions "Progressive education" as a specific "ism". The author is contrasting "common sense" with "Progressive education" and the "educational philosophy" taught in courses. This suggests that the "educational philosophy" being taught is actually a set of "isms" (Sense 1).

    *   Let's try to find similar examples in WordNet or other corpora.
        "Philosophy of education" is often categorized as a branch of philosophy (Sense 2).
        But "the philosophy of the company" is Sense 1.

    *   In the phrase "courses in educational psychology and educational philosophy," the word "philosophy" is parallel to "psychology." Psychology is a field of study (the rational investigation of the mind). Therefore, philosophy here is most likely the field of study (the rational investigation of... education).

    *   Sense 2: the rational investigation...
    *   Sense 1: a belief (or system of beliefs)...
    *   If you take a course in "educational philosophy," you are studying the *discipline* of philosophy as applied to education.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 1 again: "a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school".
    *   If the author means that teachers are taught a *specific* authoritative system (like Progressivism), then Sense 1 fits.
    *   "It also provides teachers with a superior self-definition as a 'profession,' since they will have passed courses in educational psychology and educational philosophy."
    *   The author is mocking the idea that these courses make them "professionals." This implies the courses are teaching them a certain "doctrine" (Sense 1) rather than teaching them how to "rationally investigate" (Sense 2).

    *   However, the *name* of the course is "educational philosophy." The name of the course refers to the field.

    *   Let's look at the options again.
        1. doctrine, philosophical system, school of thought, ism
        2. the rational investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics
        3. any personal belief about how to live

    *   If the context is "courses in [subject]," the subject is almost always the discipline (Sense 2).

    *   Let's search for "educational philosophy" in a linguistic context. It's generally treated as a branch of philosophy.

    *   Wait, let me re-read: "Progressive education... is far more interesting... It also provides teachers with a superior self-definition... since they will have passed courses in... educational philosophy."
    *   The author is linking "Progressive education" (an ism) with the "educational philosophy" taught in courses. This strongly suggests that the "philosophy" being taught is the "doctrine" (Sense 1).

    *   Let's think about "educational psychology." Psychology is the study of the mind. Educational psychology is the study of how people learn.
    *   Similarly, educational philosophy is the study of the goals and methods of education.
    *   The *study* of these things is the "rational investigation" (Sense 2).

    *   Let's try to see if Sense 1 fits better. "courses in [a belief system accepted as authoritative by some group]". That sounds slightly off. You don't usually take a course in "a belief system"; you take a course in "the study of belief systems" (which is philosophy).

    *   Wait, "courses in educational philosophy" could mean courses *about* the various philosophies of education. That would be Sense 2.

    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1: "a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school".
    *   If the course is "Educational Philosophy," it's the study of these systems.

    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1 again: "doctrine, philosophical system, school of thought, ism".
    *   If the author is saying that teachers are taught a specific "school of thought" (Progressivism), then "educational philosophy" is being used to refer to that "school of thought."

    *   But the phrase is "courses in... educational philosophy." This is a standard way to refer to the academic subject.

    *   Let's compare:
        "He took a course in Marxism." (Sense 1 - doctrine)
        "He took a course in Philosophy." (Sense 2 - rational investigation)
        "He took a course in Educational Philosophy." (Is this more like Marxism or Philosophy?)

    *   "Educational Philosophy" is a recognized academic field, not a single doctrine. Therefore, it's more like "Philosophy."

    *   Sense 2: "the rational investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics"
    *   Does "educational philosophy" fit this? Yes, it's the rational investigation of questions about education (which involves knowledge and ethics).

    *   Let's double-check Sense 1 one more time. "a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school".
    *   If the author is implying that "educational philosophy" is just a fancy word for "Progressive education" (the ism), then Sense 1 is the intended meaning.
    *   "Progressive education... is far more interesting... It also provides teachers with a superior self-definition... since they will have passed courses in... educational philosophy."
    *   The author is saying that the *reason* they feel like professionals is that they've been taught this "educational philosophy" (which the author has already linked to "Progressive education").

    *   This is a tough one. Let's look at the structure: "courses in educational psychology and educational philosophy."
    *   Psychology is a science (investigation). Philosophy is a discipline (investigation).
    *   The most natural reading of "courses in [Subject]" is the discipline.

    *   Let's search for "educational philosophy" in WordNet-based datasets.
    *   Often, "philosophy of [X]" is mapped to Sense 2 if it's an academic study and Sense 1 if it's a guiding principle.
    *   Example: "The philosophy of the company" -> Sense 1.
    *   Example: "The philosophy of science" -> Sense 2.
    *   "Educational philosophy" as a course is more like "the philosophy of science."

    *   Wait, I just found a similar example. "Philosophy of education" is often categorized as the *study* of the purpose of education.

    *   Let's re-read the context one more time.
        "Progressive education... is far more interesting... It also provides teachers with a superior self-definition as a 'profession,' since they will have passed courses in educational psychology and educational philosophy."
        The author is criticizing the *content* of these courses. He's saying they are taught "Progressive education" under the guise of "educational philosophy."
        Even so, the *word* "philosophy" in the phrase "courses in educational philosophy" still refers to the subject name.

    *   Let's consider if Sense 1 ("a belief (or system of beliefs)") is more likely.
        If the author means "courses in [the doctrine of] educational philosophy," it's possible. But "educational philosophy" isn't a single doctrine; it's a field that *contains* doctrines.

    *   Therefore, Sense 2 (the rational investigation/discipline) is the most likely fit for the name of a college course.

    *   Sense 1: doctrine, school of thought, ism.
    *   Sense 2: rational investigation of existence, knowledge, ethics.
    *   Sense 3: personal belief.

    *   "Educational philosophy" as a course is the study of the rational investigation of education.

    *   Wait, let me think about this again. Is "educational philosophy" a *system of beliefs*?
        Many people use "my philosophy of education" to mean "my system of beliefs about education." (This would be Sense 1 or 3).
        But "courses in educational philosophy" refers to the academic study.

    *   Let's look at the context again. The author is contrasting "common sense" with "Progressive education" and "educational philosophy."
        Common sense vs. (Progressive education / educational philosophy).
        This suggests that "educational philosophy" is being used as a synonym for the "isms" (Sense 1) that the author is criticizing.

    *   If the author is saying "they've passed courses in [this particular school of thought]," then Sense 1 is better.
    *   "Progressive education... is far more interesting... It also provides teachers with a superior self-definition... since they will have passed courses in... educational philosophy."
    *   The author is essentially saying: "They think they are professionals because they've been taught this 'educational philosophy' (i.e., this specific doctrine of Progressive education)."

    *   Let's compare:
        A: "He took a course in philosophy." (Sense 2)
        B: "He took a course in the philosophy of the Enlightenment." (Sense 1 - a specific system of beliefs)
        C: "He took a course in educational philosophy." (Is this more like A or B?)

    *   "Educational philosophy" is a general field, like "Philosophy." It's not a specific system like "the philosophy of the Enlightenment."

    *   Let's try to find this text online. It's from "The Case Against Progressive Education" or a similar critique. The author is likely E.D. Hirsch or someone similar.
    *   The author's point is that "educational philosophy" is often just a cover for "Progressive education" (a specific ism).
    *   Even if the author *means* it's a doctrine, the *word* "philosophy" in "courses in educational philosophy" is still the name of the academic discipline.

    *   Let's look at the candidate senses again.
        Sense 1: a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school.
        Sense 2: the rational investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics.

    *   If I have to choose the *single best* sense:
        In the phrase "courses in educational philosophy," "philosophy" refers to the academic discipline. The academic discipline is the "rational investigation."

    *   Let's double-check Sense 1 again. Could "educational philosophy" be "a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school"?
        Yes, the "education establishment" (the group) accepts "Progressive education" (the system of beliefs) as authoritative. The author is saying that "educational philosophy" courses teach this system

Target surface form: took
Context:
The education establishment will fight against common sense every inch of the way. The reasons are complex, but one simple reason ought not to be underestimated. "Progressive education "(as it was once called) is far more interesting and agreeable to teachers than is disciplined instruction. It is nice for teachers to think they are engaged in "personality development "and even nicer to minimize those irksome tests with often disappointing results. It also provides teachers with a superior self-definition as a "profession, "since they will have passed courses in educational psychology and educational philosophy. I myself <t>took</t> such courses in college, thinking I might end up a schoolteacher. They could all fairly be described as "pap "courses.

    *   The speaker took courses in college.
    *   The reason they took the courses was that they believed or supposed they might become a schoolteacher.
    *   "thinking I might end up a schoolteacher" $\approx$ "believing I might end up a schoolteacher" or "supposing I might end up a schoolteacher".

    *   Sense 1: judge or regard; look upon; judge (believe, consider, conceive). Example: "I think he is very smart."
    *   Sense 2: have in mind as a purpose (intend, mean). Example: "I mean no harm."
    *   Sense 3: recall knowledge from memory.
    *   Sense 4: imagine or visualize.

    *   Sense 1 ("judge or regard") is close, but usually refers to an opinion about a quality (e.g., "I think he is smart").
    *   Sense 2 ("have in mind as a purpose") is about intention. While the speaker might have intended to be a teacher, "thinking I might end up" sounds more like a belief or supposition about a possibility than a firm intention.
    *   Sense 6 ("expect, believe, or suppose") fits very well. "I thought to find her in a bad state" is similar to "I thought I might end up a schoolteacher" (expecting/supposing a certain outcome).

    *   Sense 1: "I think he is very smart" (Opinion/Judgment).
    *   Sense 6: "I thought to find her in a bad state" (Expectation/Supposition).
    *   In the context "thinking I might end up a schoolteacher", the speaker is describing a supposition or expectation about their future.

    *   Sense 6: "expect, believe, or suppose".
    *   Context: "...thinking I might end up a schoolteacher."
    *   This matches the "suppose" or "expect" aspect of Sense 6.

    *   Sense 1: judge or regard (e.g., "I think he is smart").
    *   Sense 6: expect, believe, or suppose (e.g., "I thought to find her in a bad state").
    *   The phrase "thinking I might end up" is a supposition about a future state, which aligns better with Sense 6.

        1.  `fairly%4:02:02::`: to a moderately sufficient extent or degree (reasonably, moderately, pretty).
        2.  `fairly%4:02:03::`: in conformity with the rules or laws and without fraud or cheating (fair, clean).
        3.  `fairly%4:02:00::`: without favoring one party, in a fair evenhanded manner (fair, evenhandedly).

    *   The sentence is: "They could all fairly be described as 'pap' courses."
    *   The author is discussing courses in educational psychology and philosophy.
    *   "Pap" usually means something bland, simplistic, or lacking substance.
    *   The author is saying that calling these courses "pap" is a "fair" description.
    *   In this context, "fairly" means "justifiably," "reasonably," or "accurately."

    *   Sense 1: "to a moderately sufficient extent or degree" (e.g., "fairly big"). This is an adverb of degree. "They could all moderately be described..." doesn't fit the meaning of "justifiably."
    *   Sense 2: "in conformity with the rules or laws and without fraud or cheating" (e.g., "played fairly"). This refers to following rules in a game or legal context. Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 3: "without favoring one party, in a fair evenhanded manner" (e.g., "deal fairly with one another"). This refers to impartiality and justice.

    *Wait*, let me re-evaluate. None of the provided senses perfectly match "justifiably" or "accurately." Let's look closer at the WordNet senses provided.

    *   Sense 1: moderately/pretty.
    *   Sense 2: according to rules/no cheating.
    *   Sense 3: evenhandedly/impartially.

    Let's re-read the sentence: "They could all fairly be described as 'pap' courses."
    If I say "It is fair to say that...", I mean it is reasonable, just, or accurate.
    Between the three options:
    - Sense 1 (moderately) is definitely wrong.
    - Sense 2 (no cheating) is definitely wrong.
    - Sense 3 (evenhandedly/without favoring one party) is the closest, as "fair" in the sense of "just" or "equitable" often overlaps with "reasonable" or "justified" in certain contexts.

    Wait, let me check if there's another sense of "fairly" in WordNet that isn't listed.
    WordNet often has:
    - fairly (adv): to a moderate degree.
    - fairly (adv): in a fair manner (justly).

    Looking at the provided senses again:
    Sense 3: "without favoring one party, in a fair evenhanded manner" (synonyms: fair, evenhandedly).
    If the author says "They could all fairly be described as...", he means it would be *just* or *reasonable* to do so. This aligns most closely with the concept of fairness/justice (Sense 3) rather than degree (Sense 1) or rule-following (Sense 2).

    Let's double-check Sense 3 again. "without favoring one party, in a fair evenhanded manner".
    If I describe something as "pap", and it *is* pap, then describing it as such is "fair" (justified/accurate). This is a common usage of "fairly" meaning "justly".

    Comparing Sense 1, 2, and 3:
    1. Moderately (No)
    2. No cheating (No)
    3. Evenhandedly/Justly (Yes, in the sense of being a just/accurate description).

    Is there any other possibility?
    "They could all fairly be described as 'pap' courses."
    Could it mean "moderately"? "They could all moderately be described..." No.
    Could it mean "without cheating"? No.
    Could it mean "justly/reasonably"? Yes.

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit among the choices.

*   Target lemma: `describe`
    *   Target surface form: `described`
    *   Context: "They could all fairly be <t>described</t> as 'pap' courses."
    *   Meaning: The author is saying that the courses could be characterized or labeled as "pap" courses.

    *   Sense 1: `identify as in botany or biology` (Too specific, not about biology).
    *   Sense 2: `to give an account or representation of in words` (General reporting/accounting).
    *   Sense 3: `give a description of` (Synonyms: depict, draw).
    *   Sense 4: `make a mark or lines on a surface` (Physical drawing/tracing).

    *   The sentence "They could all fairly be described as 'pap' courses" means the courses can be characterized or labeled as such.
    *   Sense 2 ("give an account or representation of in words") fits well.
    *   Sense 3 ("give a description of") also fits.
    *   Let's look closer at the difference between Sense 2 and Sense 3 in WordNet's structure (though the provided glosses are brief).
    *   Sense 2: `to give an account or representation of in words` (Synonyms: report, account).
    *   Sense 3: `give a description of` (Synonyms: depict, draw).
    *   Wait, looking at the provided options again:
        *   Sense 2: `to give an account or representation of in words`
        *   Sense 3: `give a description of`
    *   Actually, in many WordNet versions, "describe" as in "characterize" or "label" falls under the general sense of giving a verbal account.
    *   Let's re-evaluate: "They could all fairly be described as 'pap' courses."
    *   This is a characterization.
    *   Sense 2: "to give an account or representation of in words"
    *   Sense 3: "give a description of"
    *   Usually, "describe as [adjective/noun]" is a way of characterizing something.
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and 3:
        *   Sense 2 synonyms: report, account.
        *   Sense 3 synonyms: depict, draw.
    *   "Depict" (Sense 3) can be used metaphorically to mean characterize. "Report" (Sense 2) is more about relaying facts.
    *   However, "describe as" is the classic usage of giving a verbal representation/characterization.
    *   Let's look at the examples:
        *   Sense 2: "Discreet Italian police described it in a manner typically continental" (Giving an account).
        *   Sense 3: "He drew an elaborate plan of attack" (Wait, the example for Sense 3 is "He drew an elaborate plan of attack", but the lemma is "describe". This example seems to be for "draw" or "depict" in a more literal sense, or perhaps the gloss "give a description of" is being used broadly).
    *   Wait, looking at the provided Sense 3 again: `definition=give a description of | synonyms=depict, draw | examples=He drew an elaborate plan of attack`. This example is very strange for "describe". It looks like it's referring to "draw" (as in a diagram).
    *   Looking at Sense 2: `definition=to give an account or representation of in words | synonyms=report, account | examples=Discreet Italian police described it in a manner typically continental`.
    *   "They could all fairly be described as 'pap' courses" is definitely giving a representation in words.

    *   Sense 1: Biology/Botany (No)
    *   Sense 2: Account/Representation in words (Yes)
    *   Sense 3: Give a description of / Depict / Draw (The example "He drew an elaborate plan of attack" suggests a more visual or detailed layout, though "depict" can be verbal).
    *   Sense 4: Mark/Lines on surface (No)

    Between 2 and 3, Sense 2 is the most standard fit for "described as [something]".

    *Self-Correction:* Let me double-check the WordNet senses for "describe".
    Sense 2: `describe (v): represent in words`
    Sense 3: `describe (v): give a detailed account of` (Wait, the provided glosses are slightly different).

    Let's look at the provided glosses again:
    2: `to give an account or representation of in words`
    3: `give a description of`

    In the context "described as 'pap' courses", the author is representing the courses in words (characterizing them). This fits Sense 2 perfectly. Sense 3's example ("He drew an elaborate plan of attack") is very confusing for the word "describe" unless it means "described the plan" (but it says "drew"). If Sense 3 is linked to "draw/depict" in a visual sense, it's definitely not the right one.

    Sense 2 is the most appropriate for "described as".

    *   The phrase is "as distinct from the educational establishment."
    *   The author is making a distinction between "teachers" and "the educational establishment."
    *   The meaning here is that teachers are being considered as a separate group or entity, different from the broader establishment.

    *   Sense 1 (`separate`): "constituting a separate entity or part". This fits well.
    *   Sense 4 (`different`): "(often followed by 'from') not alike; different in nature or quality". This also fits very well, especially given the "followed by 'from'" note.

    *   Sense 1 (separate/discrete) often refers to things that are physically or logically separate (e.g., "three discrete divisions").
    *   Sense 4 (different/distinguishable) refers to things that are not the same (e.g., "two distinct senses").
    *   The phrase "as distinct from" is a common idiomatic construction used to contrast two things, emphasizing that they are not the same or should be treated as different.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 4: "plants of several distinct types", "the word 'nationalism' is used in at least two distinct senses".
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 1: "a government with three discrete divisions", "on two distinct occasions".
    *   In the context "teachers, as distinct from the educational establishment", the author is saying teachers are *different from* or *separate from* the establishment.
    *   Usually, "distinct from" maps to "different from" (Sense 4).

    *   Sense 4: "not alike; different in nature or quality" (synonym: distinguishable).
    *   Sense 1: "constituting a separate entity or part" (synonym: discrete).
    *   If I say "A is distinct from B", I usually mean A is not B (different).
    *   Let's re-read the context: "But it is unfair to dump on teachers, as distinct from the educational establishment."
    *   This means: "It is unfair to dump on teachers, [considering them as] different from the educational establishment." Or "It is unfair to dump on teachers, [who are] separate from the educational establishment."
    *   Actually, "as distinct from" is a very specific phrase. Let's check common usage. "As distinct from" is used to emphasize a difference between two things.
    *   Sense 4 specifically mentions "often followed by 'from'". This is a strong indicator.

    *   Sense 1: separate entity.
    *   Sense 4: different in nature or quality.
    *   The author is distinguishing the people (teachers) from the system (establishment). This is a difference in nature/category.

    *   Sense 4 is the most likely fit because of the "followed by 'from'" hint and the general meaning of "different from".

    *   Does it mean "relating to the process of education establishment" (Sense 1)? Yes. It describes the nature of the establishment (it's the one concerned with education).

    *   Sense 1: "relating to the process of education". This fits "educational establishment" (the system relating to education).
    *   Sense 2: "providing knowledge" (instructive). This fits things like books, films, or experiences (e.g., "an educational trip"). An "establishment" isn't typically described as "instructive" in this sense; rather, it's the entity that manages the process.

    *   The context mentions "educational psychology" and "educational philosophy" earlier, which are explicitly listed as examples for Sense 1.
    *   "Educational establishment" follows the same pattern of describing the field or system of education.

Target lemma: establishment
Target surface form: establishment
Context:
"Progressive education "(as it was once called) is far more interesting and agreeable to teachers than is disciplined instruction. It is nice for teachers to think they are engaged in "personality development "and even nicer to minimize those irksome tests with often disappointing results. It also provides teachers with a superior self-definition as a "profession, "since they will have passed courses in educational psychology and educational philosophy. I myself took such courses in college, thinking I might end up a schoolteacher. They could all fairly be described as "pap "courses. But it is unfair to dump on teachers, as distinct from the educational <t>establishment</t>. I know many schoolteachers and, on the whole, they are seriously committed to conscientious teaching.

*   Target word: "establishment"
    *   Context: "...it is unfair to dump on teachers, as distinct from the educational establishment."
    *   Meaning: The author is distinguishing between individual teachers and the broader system/power structure/administration that runs education.

    *   Sense 1: any large organization. (Too broad)
    *   Sense 2: the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something | synonyms=administration, governance, governing body, brass, organization, organisation. (Fits well: "educational establishment" refers to the administration/governing body of education).
    *   Sense 3: an organization founded and united for a specific purpose | synonyms=institution. (Possible, but "establishment" in this context usually refers to the power structure/administration).
    *   Sense 4: a public or private structure (business or governmental or educational) including buildings and equipment. (Refers to physical buildings/facilities. Not the case here).
    *   Sense 5: (ecology) process of plant/animal becoming established. (Irrelevant).
    *   Sense 6: cognitive process of establishing a valid proof. (Irrelevant).
    *   Sense 7: the act of forming or establishing something. (Irrelevant).

    *   The phrase "the educational establishment" typically refers to the people in power, the administration, or the institutionalized system of education, rather than a single institution (Sense 3) or a building (Sense 4).
    *   Sense 2 specifically mentions "administration, governance, governing body, brass," which aligns perfectly with the contrast between individual teachers and the people who run the system.

    *   Sense 2: "the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something". This fits the context of "educational establishment" as the administrative/governing entity.

    *   This fits the meaning of being acquainted with people.

    *   Sense 1: "know the nature or character of" - This is more about *how* you know someone (e.g., "I know him as a liar").
    *   Sense 10: "be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object" - This is the general sense of knowing people. Example: "Do you know my sister?" matches "I know many schoolteachers."

    *   Sense 10 is the most direct fit for "I know [people]".
