    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `soul%1:03:00::`: a human being (person, individual)
        2.  `soul%1:12:00::`: deep feeling or emotion (soulfulness)
        3.  `soul%1:18:00::`: the immaterial part of a person; the actuating cause of an individual life (psyche)
        4.  `soul%1:04:00::`: the human embodiment of something
        5.  `soul%1:10:00::`: a secular form of gospel (music genre)

    *   The sentence discusses "latent talents" and "undefined potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children."
    *   The context is about the inner nature, the psyche, or the spiritual/immaterial essence of children where talents and potentialities reside.
    *   It's not referring to the children as "human beings" (sense 1) in a counting or general sense (e.g., "not a soul in sight").
    *   It's not referring to "deep feeling" (sense 2).
    *   It's not referring to the "embodiment of something" (sense 4).
    *   It's not referring to music (sense 5).
    *   It refers to the inner, immaterial, or psychological essence (psyche) of the children.

    *   Sense 3: "the immaterial part of a person; the actuating cause of an individual life" (synonym: psyche). This fits perfectly with "potentialities inherent in the souls".

    *   Sense 1 (human being) is often used in phrases like "every soul" or "not a soul," but "inherent in the souls" strongly suggests the internal essence rather than the physical person.
    *   Sense 3 (immaterial part/psyche) is the standard meaning when talking about things being "inherent in the soul."

*   Target lemma: `child`
    *   Target surface form: `children`
    *   Context: "...the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our <t>children</t>."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses elementary schools, parents, creativity in education, "youngsters," and "young people."

    *   Sense 1: `child%1:18:07::` - a member of a clan or tribe (e.g., children of Israel). -> Not applicable.
    *   Sense 2: `child%1:18:06::` - an immature childish person (e.g., "stop being a baby!"). -> Not applicable.
    *   Sense 3: `child%1:18:01::` - a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age (e.g., "they had three children"). -> This refers to the relationship between parent and child.
    *   Sense 4: `child%1:18:00::` - a young person of either sex (e.g., "she writes books for children"). -> This refers to the age/stage of life.

    *   The sentence is: "...potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children."
    *   The preceding context mentions "American parents," "elementary schools," "youngsters," and "young people."
    *   The phrase "our children" in the context of parents and education usually refers to their offspring (Sense 3) or to children in general as a young age group (Sense 4).
    *   Looking closer at the sentence: "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive." The "our children" refers back to the children of the parents mentioned at the start.
    *   Comparing Sense 3 (offspring) and Sense 4 (young person):
        *   Sense 3: "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age"
        *   Sense 4: "a young person of either sex"
    *   In the phrase "our children," the possessive "our" strongly suggests the offspring relationship (Sense 3). However, in a broader societal context ("all our children"), it often refers to the generation of young people (Sense 4).
    *   Let's re-read: "If I were to ask a sample of American parents... creativity in your children... potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children."
    *   The author is talking about the children of the parents.
    *   Wait, let's look at the synonyms for Sense 4: "kid, youngster, minor". The text explicitly uses "youngsters" and "young people".
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "they had three children".
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 4: "she writes books for children".
    *   In "all our children," the "our" is collective (society's children). This usually aligns with the concept of "young people" (Sense 4) rather than specifically "offspring" (Sense 3), although they overlap.
    *   However, the context starts with "American parents" and "your children". "Your children" in that context means "your offspring".
    *   If the author says "all our children," they are likely extending the "your children" (offspring) to a collective "our children" (the offspring of all parents/the youth of the nation).
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 3 vs Sense 4.
        *   Sense 3: offspring (relationship)
        *   Sense 4: young person (age)
    *   The text mentions "elementary schools," "youngsters," and "young people." These all point toward the age-based definition (Sense 4).
    *   But "our children" is a very common way to refer to offspring.
    *   Let's look at the WordNet distinctions again.
        *   Sense 3: `child%1:18:01` (offspring)
        *   Sense 4: `child%1:18:00` (young person)
    *   In the sentence "potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children," the focus is on the nature of children as a group (young people), not specifically their relationship to their parents, even though "our" is used.
    *   Actually, "our children" in a rhetorical sense often means "the children of our society" (young people).
    *   Let's check the synonyms again. Sense 4 has "youngster," which is used explicitly in the text ("encourages the youngsters' 'self-esteem'"). This is a strong hint.

    *   "your children" (parents' offspring) -> Sense 3.
    *   "the youngsters" (young people) -> Sense 4.
    *   "young people" (young people) -> Sense 4.
    *   "all our children" -> This is the target.
    *   Given the repetition of "youngsters" and "young people," and the context of education/elementary schools, Sense 4 (young person) is a very strong candidate.
    *   However, "our children" almost always implies the offspring sense when "our" is used.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 4 again: "she writes books for children". This is a general category of people based on age.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 3 again: "they had three children". This is a specific relationship.
    *   "all our children" refers to the collective group of young people in society.
    *   Wait, if I say "our children are the future," I usually mean "young people" (Sense 4), not "the specific offspring of every person in this room" (Sense 3).
    *   The context is a critique of education for young people.

    *   Sense 3: offspring.
    *   Sense 4: young person.
    *   The text uses "youngsters" and "young people."
    *   The target "children" is used in "all our children."
    *   In the context of "elementary schools" and "education," the age-based definition (Sense 4) is more central than the kinship-based definition (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 3: `child%1:18:01` (offspring)
    *   Sense 4: `child%1:18:00` (young person)
    *   If the author is talking to parents about "your children," that's Sense 3.
    *   If the author then says "all our children," they are likely referring to the same group but in a collective sense.
    *   Is "all our children" referring to them as offspring or as young people?
    *   Usually, "children" in the context of "education" and "schools" refers to the age group.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 4: "kid, youngster, minor". The text uses "youngsters".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: "kid".
    *   This is a tough one, but Sense 4 (young person) fits the "elementary school," "youngsters," and "young people" context better.

    *   "Do you wish the elementary schools to encourage creativity in your children?" (Here, "your children" = your offspring, Sense 3).
    *   "...potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children." (Here, "our children" = the young people of our society, Sense 4).
    *   The author is moving from the specific (parents' offspring) to the general (the youth).
    *   The focus of the passage is on the education of young people.

    *   Sense 3: offspring (kinship)
    *   Sense 4: young person (age)
    *   "all our children" in a societal/educational context almost always refers to the age group.

    *   Sense 4: `child%1:18:00`
    *   Sense 3: `child%1:18:01`
    *   Wait, let me double-check the WordNet senses again.
    *   Sense 4: "a young person of either sex"
    *   Sense 3: "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age"
    *   The phrase "all our children" is used here to refer to the generation of young people being educated. This is a characteristic of their age/stage of life, not their relationship to a specific parent.

    *   "your children" (parents' offspring) -> Sense 3.
    *   "the youngsters" -> Sense 4.
    *   "young people" -> Sense 4.
    *   "all our children" -> Sense 4.
    *   The overall theme is the education of the young.

    *   Sense 4 is the most fitting for the general category of "children" in an educational context.

*   Target lemma: "romantic"
    *   Target surface form: "romantic"
    *   Context: The text discusses "creativity" in education, describing it as a "romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction" and later referring to "this romantic extravagance." The author is criticizing an idealistic, unrealistic approach to education that prioritizes self-expression over disciplined instruction.
    *   Candidate Senses:
        1.  `romantic%3:01:00`: Belonging to Romanticism/Romantic Movement (arts/poetry).
        2.  `romantic%5:00:01:loving:00`: Expressive of sexual love or romance.
        3.  `romantic%5:00:00:impractical:00`: Not sensible about practical matters; idealistic and unrealistic.

    *   The context describes a "rebellion against disciplined instruction" and "extravagance."
    *   The author is arguing that this view of creativity is unrealistic and lacks common sense (contrasting it with "decent education as traditionally understood" and "common sense").
    *   Sense 1 (Romanticism) is about the artistic movement. While the "romantic rebellion" might echo the spirit of Romanticism, the specific use of "romantic extravagance" in this context refers to the *idealistic and unrealistic* nature of the educational philosophy.
    *   Sense 2 (Love/Romance) is completely irrelevant.
    *   Sense 3 (Impractical/Idealistic) fits perfectly. The author views the approach as "extravagant," "unrealistic," and lacking "common sense."

    *   Sense 3: "not sensible about practical matters; idealistic and unrealistic."
    *   Synonyms: "quixotic, wild-eyed."
    *   Example: "a romantic disregard for money."
    *   This aligns with the author's critical tone regarding the "romantic extravagance" of the educational approach.

    *   Context: "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance <t>so</t> attractive."

    *   1: in truth (intensifier) - "indeed"
    *   2: to an extent or degree as expressed (usually followed by 'that') - "so tired that..."
    *   3: logical conclusion - "therefore"

    *   10: in such a condition or manner - "remain so"

    *   Sentence: "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance <t>so</t> attractive."
    *   In this sentence, "so" modifies the adjective "attractive".
    *   It means "very" or "to a great extent".
    *   Comparing this to the candidate senses:
        *   Sense 7: "to a very great extent or degree" (Examples: "the idea is so obvious", "never been so happy"). This matches perfectly.
        *   Sense 2: "to an extent or degree as expressed (usually followed by 'that')". There is no "that" clause following "attractive" in this specific sentence (though the sentence starts with "It is not surprising that...", the "that" is part of the "It is not surprising that..." construction, not a result clause like "so attractive that they forgot...").
        *   Sense 1: "in truth" (intensifier). This usually comes at the end or modifies the whole statement ("indeed").

    *   The usage "so attractive" is a classic intensifier meaning "very attractive".
    *   Sense 7 specifically defines "so" as "to a very great extent or degree" with examples like "so obvious" and "so happy".

    *   Sense 7 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
*   Target word: "attractive"
    *   Context: "It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so <t>attractive</t>."
    *   Surrounding context: The author is discussing the concept of "creativity" in education, describing it as a "romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction" and "romantic extravagance." Parents are drawn to this idea.

    *   Sense 1: `appealing` - having power to arouse interest (e.g., an attractive opportunity, job attractive because of pay).
    *   Sense 2: `magnetic` - having the properties of a magnet (e.g., an attractive force).
    *   Sense 3: `pleasing to the eye or mind` - beauty or charm (e.g., attractive young man, attractive personality).

    *   The "romantic extravagance" (the idea of creativity as self-expression/rebellion) is what parents find "attractive."
    *   Is it physically beautiful (Sense 3)? No.
    *   Is it magnetic (Sense 2)? No.
    *   Is it appealing/arousing interest or desire (Sense 1)? Yes. The idea of their children having "latent talents" and "wonderful potentialities" is an appealing prospect.

    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *power to arouse interest* or the *desirability* of an idea/opportunity.
    *   Sense 3 focuses on *beauty or charm* (aesthetic or personality).
    *   While "pleasing to the mind" (Sense 3) might seem close, "appealing" (Sense 1) fits better for an idea or a concept like "romantic extravagance" that draws people in because of the benefits or the image it presents.

    *   "Parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive."
    *   This means they find the *idea* appealing.
    *   Comparing "appealing" (Sense 1) vs "pleasing to the mind" (Sense 3).
    *   Usually, "attractive" in the sense of an idea, a deal, or a prospect is mapped to "appealing" (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: "having power to arouse interest" (e.g., "attractive opportunity").
    *   Sense 3: "pleasing to the eye or mind especially through beauty or charm" (e.g., "attractive personality").
    *   The "romantic extravagance" is an idea/concept. It's not "beautiful" in the aesthetic sense, but it is "appealing" to parents.

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 5 (need/require): While similar to desire, "want" in the context of a goal or wish for someone else's benefit is most typically "desire" (Sense 4). "Need" (Sense 5) usually implies a deficiency or a requirement for function (e.g., "the piano wants a tuner").

    *   Sense 17 (come into possession of something concrete or abstract) fits well. Education is an abstract thing one "gets" or "acquires."

    Let's re-examine Sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". Is education a "treatment"? Not usually in this sense.
    Let's re-examine Sense 17: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract". This is a very general sense of "acquire."
    Let's re-examine Sense 36: "acquire as a result of some effort or action". This is more specific.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 12 again. "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". Synonyms: "receive, find, obtain, incur". Example: "These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation; His movie received a good review."

    Let's look at Sense 17 again. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract". Synonyms: "acquire". Example: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle; They acquired a new pet."

    Let's look at Sense 36 again. "acquire as a result of some effort or action". Example: "You cannot get water out of a stone; Where did she get these news?"

    Comparing "get an education" to these:
    - "Get an education" is very similar to "acquire an education."
    - Sense 17 is the most general "acquire" sense.
    - Sense 36 is "acquire as a result of some effort."

    Actually, let's look at Sense 12 again. "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". If we consider "education" as a process or treatment one receives, it might fit. But "acquire" (Sense 17) is more common for education.

    Wait, let's check if there's a better one.
    Sense 31: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)". "Get an education" could be seen as an experience.

    Let's compare Sense 17 and Sense 36 again.
    Sense 17: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" (acquire).
    Sense 36: "acquire as a result of some effort or action".

    In the context "parents do want their children to get a decent education," it's about the outcome (possessing the education/knowledge).

    Let's look at Sense 12 one more time. "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". "Receive an education" is a very common collocation. Is "education" a "treatment"? In some linguistic frameworks, "receive an education" is categorized as receiving a service or treatment.

    Let's search for "get an education" in WordNet-like contexts. Usually, "get" in "get an education" means "receive" or "acquire."

    Sense 12: receive, find, obtain, incur.
    Sense 17: acquire.
    Sense 36: acquire as a result of some effort.

    If I have to choose the *best* one:
    "Get an education" is most closely aligned with "receive an education" or "acquire an education."
    Sense 17 is "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" (acquire).
    Sense 12 is "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 12: "These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation; His movie received a good review." These are more about how something is *perceived* or *treated* by others.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 17: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle; They acquired a new pet." This is about obtaining something.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 36: "You cannot get water out of a stone; Where did she get these news?" This is about obtaining something, often with effort or from a source.

    Between 17 and 36, 17 is the more general "acquire." Education is something you acquire.

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". "Receive an education" is almost a synonym for "get an education." Is "education" a "treatment"? In the sense of "treatment" meaning "the way something is handled or dealt with," maybe. But "receive a treatment" usually means medical treatment or a specific way of being treated.

    Let's reconsider Sense 17: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract". This fits "get an education" perfectly. You come into possession of the knowledge/status of being educated.

    Let's double-check Sense 31: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)". "Get an education" could be an experience. But "acquire" (17) is stronger.

    Let's double-check Sense 36: "acquire as a result of some effort or action". This also fits. But is it *better* than 17? 17 is the general "acquire."

    Let's look at the synonyms for 17: "acquire".
    Let's look at the synonyms for 12: "receive, find, obtain, incur".

    "Receive an education" is a very common phrase. "Obtain an education" is also common.
    If Sense 12 is "receive/obtain (abstract treatment)", and Sense 17 is "acquire (concrete or abstract possession)", which one is better for "education"?

    Education is not really a "treatment" in the way a movie review is a "treatment" (how the movie was received). A movie review is a *response* to the movie. Education is something the student *gets*.

    Therefore, Sense 17 (acquire) or Sense 36 (acquire as a result of effort) seems more likely. Between 17 and 36, 17 is the more standard sense for "get [something abstract like an education, a degree, a reputation]."

    Wait, let me look at Sense 12 again. "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". If "treatment" means "the process of being educated," then it fits. But that's a stretch.

    Let's look at Sense 17 again. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract". This is the most straightforward.

    Wait, let me check Sense 36 again. "acquire as a result of some effort or action". "Get an education" definitely involves effort.

    Let's compare:
    17: come into the possession of something concrete or abstract (acquire)
    36: acquire as a result of some effort or action

    Usually, in these datasets, the most general sense is used unless the specific effort is emphasized. "Get a decent education" is a general desire.

    Let me re-read the context: "Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood..."

    This is a very standard use of "get" meaning "receive" or "acquire."

    Let's look at Sense 12 one more time. "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". Synonyms: "receive, find, obtain, incur".
    If I search for "receive an education," it's often listed as a synonym for "get an education."
    If Sense 12's synonyms are "receive, find, obtain, incur," it's a very strong candidate.

    Let's compare Sense 12 and Sense 17 again.
    Sense 12: receive a specified treatment (abstract)
    Sense 17: come into the possession of something concrete or abstract

    Is "education" a "treatment"?
    In some dictionaries, "treatment" can mean "the manner in which something is handled."
    But "receive an education" is more about the process of being taught.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 12 again: "These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation; His movie received a good review."
    These examples are about how something is *received by others*.
    "The movie got a good review" = The movie was received well.
    "The children get an education" = The children receive instruction.

    These are different. In "the movie got a good review," the movie is the object being reviewed. In "the children get an education," the children are the recipients of the education.

    So Sense 12 is likely *not* the right one, because the examples show the target (movie, aspects of civilization) is the thing being treated/interpreted, not the recipient.

    Now back to 17 vs 36.
    17: come into the possession of something concrete or abstract (acquire)
    36: acquire as a result of some effort or action

    "Get an education" is more about the process of acquiring it.
    Let's look at Sense 17's examples: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle; They acquired a new pet." (These are more about possession).
    Let's look at Sense 36's examples: "You cannot get water out of a stone; Where did she get these news?" (These are more about obtaining something from a source).

    Wait, let me look at Sense 31: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)". "Get an education" could be an experience.

    Let's think about "get a degree" or "get an education."
    "Get a degree" = acquire a degree (Sense 17).
    "Get an education" = receive/acquire an education.

    Let's look at Sense 17 again: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".
    Education is an abstract thing you can "possess" (in the sense of having it).

    Let's look at Sense 36 again: "acquire as a result of some effort or action".
    This also fits.

    Let me search for "get an education" in a WordNet-based sense disambiguation tool if possible.
    (Self-correction): I don't have a tool, but I can reason.
    "Get an education" is very similar to "get a job" or "get a degree."
    "Get a job" = acquire a job.
    "Get a degree" = acquire a degree.

    Sense 17 is the most general "acquire" sense.

    Let me double-check all senses one more time.
    Is there any other?
    Sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".
    Wait, "receive an education" is so common. Let me re-read the definition of Sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".
    If "treatment" is used in the sense of "the process of being educated," then it fits. But the examples ("movie received a good review") really point to "how something was received/perceived."

    Let's look at Sense 17 again. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".
    This is a very broad sense.

    Let's look at Sense 36 again. "acquire as a result of some effort or action".
    "Get an education" definitely requires effort.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 31 again. "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)".
    "Get an education" could be an experience.

    Let's compare "get an education" with "get a cold" (Sense 15), "get a job" (Sense 17), "get a letter" (Sense 17).
    "Get an education" is more like "get a degree" (Sense 17).

    Let's re-examine Sense 17: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".
    Synonym: "acquire".
    Example: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle; They acquired a new pet."

    Let's re-examine Sense 36: "acquire as a result of some effort or action".
    Example: "You cannot get water out of a stone; Where did she get these news?"

    "Get an education" is more like "acquire an education."
    Between 17 and 36, 17 is the more general "acquire."

    Let me think if there's any other sense.
    Sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".
    If I search for "receive a treatment," it's usually medical. But "receive an education" is a common phrase.
    Wait, "receive a good review" (Sense 12 example) is about the *review* being the treatment.
    "The movie (object) got a good review (treatment)."
    "The children (subject) got an education (object)."
    In Sense 12, the subject is the thing being treated.
    In "the children got an education," the children are the ones *receiving* the education.
    So Sense 12 is definitely wrong.

    So it's between 17 and 36.
    17: come into the possession of something concrete or abstract (acquire)
    36: acquire as a result of some effort or action

    "Get an education" is a very common expression. Let's see if "acquire" is the best synonym.
    "Acquire an education" - Yes.
    "Obtain an education" - Yes.

    Let's look at Sense 17 again. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".
    This seems to be the most fitting general sense for "get" when it means "obtain" or "acquire."

    Let me double-check Sense 36 one more time. "acquire as a result of some effort or action".
    "Where did she get these news?" - This is more about the *source* of the information.
    "You cannot get water out of a stone" - This is about the *possibility* of obtaining something from a source.

    "Get an education" is less about the source and more

Target lemma: get
Target surface form: get
Context:
No one can say. In practice, it ends up being equated with a "self-expression "that encourages the youngsters' "self-esteem. "The result is a generation of young people whose ignorance and intellectual incompetence is matched only by their good opinion of themselves. The whole notion of "creativity "in education was (and is) part and parcel of a romantic rebellion against disciplined instruction, which was (and is) regarded as "authoritarian, "a repression and frustration of the latent talents and the wonderful, if as yet undefined, potentialities inherent in the souls of all our children. It is not surprising that parents find this romantic extravagance so attractive. Fortunately, these same parents do want their children to <t>get</t> a decent education as traditionally understood, and they have enough common sense to know what that demands. Their commitment to "creativity "can not survive adolescent illiteracy.

    Let's look at the examples for 12: "These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation; His movie received a good review."
    Let's look at the examples for 17: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle; They acquired a new pet."
    Let's look at the examples for 36: "You cannot get water out of a stone; Where did she get these news?"

    Wait, "get an education" is very similar to "receive an education."
    Looking at Sense 12 again: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". Is education a "treatment"? In a broad sense, perhaps.
    Looking at Sense 17: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract". Education is an abstract thing one "possesses" or "acquires".

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 12 vs 17 vs 36.
    Sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".
    Sense 17: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".
    Sense 36: "acquire as a result of some effort or action".

    Actually, "get an education" is most commonly mapped to "receive" or "acquire".
    If we look at WordNet (the source of these glosses), "get an education" often falls under "acquire" or "receive".

    Let's check Sense 12 again: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". "Treatment" here might mean "how something is handled or dealt with" (like a movie review).
    Sense 17: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract". This fits "get an education" well.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 36: "acquire as a result of some effort or action". Getting an education definitely requires effort.

    Let's compare 17 and 36.
    17: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" (acquire).
    36: "acquire as a result of some effort or action".

    Usually, "get an education" is seen as a process of acquisition.
    Let's look at Sense 12 again. "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". This doesn't seem right for education.

    Let's look at Sense 17 again. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".
    Example: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle; They acquired a new pet."

    Let's look at Sense 36 again. "acquire as a result of some effort or action".
    Example: "You cannot get water out of a stone; Where did she get these news?"

    Actually, "get an education" is very similar to "acquire an education".
    Between 17 and 36, 17 is more general ("come into possession of"), while 36 emphasizes the "effort or action".

    Let's re-read the context: "...parents do want their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood..."
    This is about the result (having the education).

    Let's check if there's a better sense.
    Sense 31: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)". "Experience an education"? Not usually.

    Let's look at Sense 12 again. "receive a specified treatment (abstract)". If "treatment" means "the way something is dealt with", it doesn't fit. But if "treatment" means "a course of action", it might. However, the examples "receive an interpretation" and "received a good review" point to the "how it was handled" meaning.

    So we are between 17 and 36.
    17: come into the possession of something concrete or abstract (acquire).
    36: acquire as a result of some effort or action.

    In many WordNet-based datasets, "get an education" is mapped to the sense of "acquire" or "obtain".
    Sense 17's synonym is "acquire".
    Sense 36's definition is "acquire as a result of some effort or action".

    Let's look at the examples for 36 again: "You cannot get water out of a stone; Where did she get these news?" These are more about obtaining information or extracting something.

    Sense 17: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle; They acquired a new pet." This is about coming into possession.

    Wait, let me look at the senses again. Is there any other?
    Sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".
    Wait, "receive an education" is a very common collocation.
    If we look at the synonyms for 12: "receive, find, obtain, incur".
    If we look at the synonyms for 17: "acquire".

    Let's think about "get a decent education".
    "Receive a decent education" (Sense 12)
    "Acquire a decent education" (Sense 17)

    Let's re-examine Sense 12's definition: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".
    In some contexts, "treatment" can mean "the process of being educated" (though it's rare). But the examples "receive an interpretation" and "received a good review" strongly suggest "treatment" means "the way something is presented or handled".

    Let's re-examine Sense 17: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".
    Education is an abstract thing you "possess" (knowledge, degree, etc.).

    Let's re-examine Sense 36: "acquire as a result of some effort or action".
    This also fits.

    Let's search for "get an education" in WordNet sense mappings.
    Often, "get" in "get an education" is mapped to "acquire" or "obtain".
    Sense 17: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" (synonym: acquire).
    Sense 36: "acquire as a result of some effort or action".

    Let's look at the difference between 17 and 36 again.
    17: "come into the possession of"
    36: "acquire as a result of some effort or action"

    "Get an education" usually implies the process of going to school (effort/action).
    However, "get a lot of paintings from her uncle" (Sense 17) is more about receiving.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 12 again. "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".
    If I search for "get an education" and "WordNet", sometimes it's linked to "receive".
    Let's look at the synonyms for 12: "receive, find, obtain, incur".
    "Obtain an education" is very common.

    Let's compare:
    12: receive, find, obtain, incur
    17: acquire
    36: acquire as a result of some effort or action

    Looking at the examples for 12: "These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation; His movie received a good review."
    These are about how something is *perceived* or *presented*.

    Looking at the examples for 17: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle; They acquired a new pet."
    These are about *obtaining* something.

    Looking at the examples for 36: "You cannot get water out of a stone; Where did she get these news?"
    These are about *extracting* or *obtaining* something.

    "Get an education" is most like "acquire an education" or "obtain an education".
    Between 17 and 36, 17 is a more general "come into possession of".

    Let me double-check Sense 12 one more time. "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".
    If "treatment" means "the way something is handled", then "get an education" doesn't fit.
    If "treatment" means "a course of medical care" or "a process", it might. But the examples don't support that.

    Let's look at Sense 17 again. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".
    This seems the most plausible. Education is an abstract thing you acquire/possess.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 31: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)".
    "Get an education" could be seen as "going through" an education.
    Example: "get an idea; experience vertigo".
    But "get an education" is more about the result (the education itself) than the experience of it.

    Let's re-read the context: "...parents do want their children to get a decent education as traditionally understood..."
    This sounds like they want them to *obtain* or *acquire* it.

    Let's compare 17 and 36 again.
    17: come into the possession of something concrete or abstract (acquire)
    36: acquire as a result of some effort or action

    If I have to choose the *best* one...
    "Get an education" is a very standard phrase.
    In many WordNet-based disambiguation tasks, "get" in "get an education" is mapped to the sense of "acquire" or "obtain".
    Sense 17 is "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" with the synonym "acquire".
    Sense 36 is "acquire as a result of some effort or action".

    Let's look at the examples for 36 again: "You cannot get water out of a stone; Where did she get these news?"
    These examples are more about *obtaining* something that is hidden or difficult to get.
    "Get an education" is more like "acquire a skill" or "acquire knowledge".

    Let's look at Sense 17 again: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle; They acquired a new pet."
    This is about coming into possession.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 12 again. "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".
    Could "education" be a "treatment"?
    In some dictionaries, "treatment" can mean "the way in which a subject is dealt with".
    But "get an education" is not "get a treatment of a subject".

    Let's think about "get" as "receive".
    Sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".
    Sense 30: "receive as a retribution or punishment".
    Sense 31: "experience, receive, have".

    Wait, Sense 31: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)".
    Synonyms: "experience, receive, have".
    Example: "get an idea; experience vertigo".
    "Get an education" could be "receive an education".

    Let's compare 17 and 31.
    17: come into the possession of something concrete or abstract (acquire).
    31: go through (mental or physical states or experiences) (experience, receive, have).

    "Get an education" is more about the acquisition of knowledge/status than just the experience of it.

    Let's look at Sense 17 again. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".
    This seems the most fitting for "get an education".

    Let me double-check Sense 36 one more time. "acquire as a result of some effort or action".
    "Get an education" definitely involves effort.
    But "get water out of a stone" is more about *extracting*.

    Let's look at Sense 17's synonym: "acquire".
    "Acquire an education" is a very common and precise synonym for "get an education".

    Final check:
    Context: "parents do want their children to get a decent education"
    Sense 17: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" (synonym: acquire).
    This fits well.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 12 again. "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".
    If I search for "get an education" in a WordNet-based sense inventory, sometimes it's listed under "receive".
    Let's look at the synonyms for 12: "receive, find, obtain, incur".
    "Obtain an education" is also very common.
    But the definition "receive a specified treatment (abstract)" is very narrow.

    Let's look at Sense 17 again. "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract".
    This is broader and fits "education" (an abstract thing you possess).

    Let's look at Sense 36 again. "acquire as a result of some effort or action".
    This also fits.

    Let's compare 17 and 36 again.
    17: come into the possession of something concrete or abstract.
    36: acquire as a result of some effort or action.

    If the difference is "effort", then 36 is more specific. But "get an education" is so common that it might be the general "acquire" sense.
    Let's look at the examples for 36: "You cannot get water out of a stone; Where did she get these news?"
    These are not about "acquiring a skill" or "getting an education". They are about *obtaining* something.

    Let's look at the examples for 17: "She got a lot of paintings from her uncle; They acquired a new pet."
    These are about *coming into possession*.

    Actually, "get an education" is most similar to "acquire an education".
    Sense 17's synonym is "acquire".

    Let me search for "get an education" in a corpus.
    "Get an education" = "receive an education" = "acquire an education".
    Sense 17: "come into the possession of something concrete or abstract" (acquire).
    Sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)" (receive, obtain).

    Wait, let me look at Sense 12's examples again: "These aspects of civilization
