    Looking at the sentence: "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school."
    The context mentions "educational system", "schooling", "education reforms".
    In the phrase "involved with their children's education", it encompasses both the instruction they receive and the process of learning.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "he received no formal education".
    Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "education is a preparation for life".

    In "involved with their children's education", it refers to the overall process of learning/instruction. Usually, when talking about a child's "education" in a general sense (schooling, home learning), Sense 2 (the activities of educating/instructing) or Sense 3 (the process of acquiring knowledge) are very close.

    However, Sense 2 is often used for "formal education" (schooling). Sense 3 is more about the lifelong or gradual process.

    Wait, let's re-read Sense 2: "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill".
    And Sense 3: "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge".

    In the context of "involved with their children's education at home", the parents are providing the *activities* (instruction, help with homework, etc.) and the children are undergoing the *process*.

    Let's check the synonyms for Sense 2: "instruction, teaching, pedagogy, didactics, educational activity".
    If we replace "education" with "instruction": "Parents should be involved with their children's instruction at home..." (Fits).
    If we replace "education" with "the process of acquiring knowledge": "Parents should be involved with their children's process of acquiring knowledge at home..." (A bit clunky).

    Comparing Sense 1 (knowledge acquired) vs Sense 2 (activities of educating).
    "involved with their children's education" -> usually refers to the schooling/instructional process.

    Let's look at the broader context: "educational system", "educational program", "schooling", "education reforms". These all point towards the organized activity of teaching and learning.

    Sense 2: "the activities of educating or instructing"
    Sense 3: "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge"

    In most WSD datasets (like SemCor), "education" in the context of schooling/instruction is mapped to the sense of "the act or process of instructing" (Sense 2).

    Let's double-check Sense 1: "knowledge acquired by learning and instruction".
    "involved with their children's knowledge acquired..." (Doesn't fit).

    Sense 2 seems the most appropriate as it covers the "activities" (homework, not playing truant) mentioned in the following sentences.

    *   Sense 2: activities of educating/instructing.
    *   Sense 3: gradual process of acquiring knowledge.

    The text says: "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home... they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework; they should scrutinize the report card."
    These are activities related to the *instructional process* (Sense 2).

    Wait, let me look at Sense 2 again: "the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill".
    And Sense 3: "the gradual process of acquiring knowledge".

    Actually, "a child's education" often refers to the whole process of being educated (Sense 2).

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
    Sense 2: instruction, teaching.
    Sense 3: the process of acquiring knowledge.

    If I say "My education was interrupted by the war," I usually mean my schooling (Sense 2).
    If I say "Education is the key to success," I might mean the process (Sense 3) or the result (Sense 1).

    In "involved with their children's education", it's very similar to "involved with their children's schooling". Schooling is the activity of instructing.

    Therefore, Sense 2 is the strongest candidate.

    Sense 1: knowledge acquired (result)
    Sense 2: activities of educating (instruction)
    Sense 3: process of acquiring knowledge (learning)
    Sense 4: Dept of Education (agency)
    Sense 5: profession of teaching (career)
    Sense 6: upbringing (breeding)

    The context "involved with their children's education at home, not in school" refers to the instructional activities and the overall schooling process. Sense 2 ("the activities of educating or instructing") fits this best.

    *   The sentence contrasts "at home" with "in school".
    *   "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school."
    *   This refers to the place where the children live and the environment provided by the parents, as opposed to the institutional setting of a school.

    *   Sense 2 (housing/dwelling) refers to the physical building.
    *   Sense 3 (environment offering affection and security) refers to the emotional/social atmosphere.
    *   Sense 5 (where you live at a particular time) refers to the place of residence.
    *   Sense 6 (social unit/family) refers to the people.

    *   "At home" in this context usually means "in the domestic sphere" or "at the place of residence".
    *   Comparing Sense 2, 3, 5, and 6:
        *   Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in" (physical)
        *   Sense 3: "an environment offering affection and security" (emotional)
        *   Sense 5: "where you live at a particular time" (place)
        *   Sense 6: "a social unit living together" (family)

    *   The contrast is "at home" vs "in school". "In school" refers to the location/institution. "At home" refers to the location/domestic environment.
    *   Sense 5 ("where you live at a particular time") is a very general "place" sense.
    *   Sense 2 ("housing that someone is living in") is more about the building.
    *   Sense 3 ("an environment offering affection and security") is more about the quality of the home.
    *   Sense 6 ("a social unit living together") is the family.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 5: "deliver the package to my home".
    Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "he built a modest dwelling near the pond".
    Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "he grew up in a good Christian home".

    In "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home", "home" refers to the domestic setting/residence.

    Wait, let's re-evaluate Sense 5 vs Sense 2.
    Sense 5: "where you live at a particular time" (synonym: place).
    Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in" (synonyms: dwelling, domicile, abode).

    Actually, "at home" often maps to the place of residence.
    Looking at the options again:
    Sense 2: housing (physical)
    Sense 3: environment (emotional/social)
    Sense 5: where you live (place)
    Sense 6: social unit (family)

    In the context of "education at home", it refers to the domestic environment/place of residence.
    If I say "I am at home", I mean I am at my place of residence (Sense 5).
    If I say "He comes from a broken home", I mean Sense 3 or 6.
    If I say "He bought a new home", I mean Sense 2.

    "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home" -> "at [the place where they live]". This fits Sense 5 best.

    Let's double-check Sense 6 (family/household). "Parents should be involved... at [the family/household]". This doesn't sound as natural as "at [the place where they live]".

    Let's double-check Sense 3 (environment). "Parents should be involved... at [an environment offering affection and security]". This is a bit too specific.

    Let's double-check Sense 2 (housing). "Parents should be involved... at [the housing they are living in]". This is too focused on the physical structure.

    Sense 5 ("where you live at a particular time") seems the most appropriate for the locative "at home".

    Wait, let me look at Sense 5 again: "where you live at a particular time | synonyms=place | examples=deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to".
    And Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in | synonyms=dwelling, domicile, abode, habitation, dwelling house | examples=he built a modest dwelling near the pond; they raise money to provide homes for the homeless".

    Actually, "at home" is a very common idiom. In "at home, not in school", it's contrasting the location of the activity.

    Let's re-read Sense 5: "where you live at a particular time".
    Let's re-read Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in".

    Is there a better fit?
    Sense 6: "a social unit living together | synonyms=family, household, house, menage".
    If "home" means "household", then "at home" means "within the household".

    Let's compare "at home" (place) vs "at home" (household).
    "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home" = in the domestic sphere.

    Looking at WordNet (the source of these senses), "home" as a noun has several meanings.
    Sense 5 (home%1:15:04) is often used for the place of residence.
    Sense 2 (home%1:06:00) is often used for the building.

    Let's look at the context again: "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school."
    This is contrasting the *location* of the education.
    Location = Sense 5.

    Wait, let me check if "home" in "at home" could be Sense 6 (household).
    "He is at home" (he is in his house/with his family).
    "Education at home" (education provided by the family/in the household).

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 6: family, household, house, menage.
    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 5: place.

    In many linguistic datasets for WSD, "at home" (meaning the place where one lives) is mapped to the "residence" sense.

    Let's re-examine Sense 5: "where you live at a particular time".
    Let's re-examine Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in".

    If I say "I'm at home", am I at my "housing" or at "where I live"?
    Usually, "where I live" (Sense 5) is the more abstract "place" sense, while "housing" (Sense 2) is the physical structure.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 5 again: "deliver the package to my home". This is a location.
    "Parents should be involved... at home". This is also a location.

    Let's check Sense 3 again: "an environment offering affection and security".
    "He grew up in a good Christian home."
    This is more about the *kind* of home.

    Let's check Sense 6 again: "a social unit living together".
    "He moved his family to Virginia." (Wait, the example says "he moved his family", but the sense is "home"). This is a bit confusing. Let me re-read: "sense_key=home%1:14:00:: | definition=a social unit living together | synonyms=family, household, house, menage | examples=he moved his family to Virginia; It was a good Christian household".
    Wait, the examples provided for Sense 6 are "he moved his family to Virginia" and "It was a good Christian household". This is very strange because the word "home" isn't even in the examples. (Actually, it's likely the examples are for the synonyms "family" and "household").

    Okay, so Sense 6 is "household".
    Sense 5 is "place of residence".
    Sense 2 is "dwelling/building".

    "At home" most naturally refers to the place of residence.

    Let's double-check if "at home" could be Sense 8 (country/state/city).
    "Canadian tariffs enabled United States lumber companies to raise prices at home".
    In the target sentence, "at home" is contrasted with "in school", not "abroad". So it's not Sense 8.

    So we are between 2, 3, 5, and 6.
    Sense 5: "where you live at a particular time" (place)
    Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in" (dwelling)
    Sense 6: "a social unit living together" (household)
    Sense 3: "an environment offering affection and security" (emotional environment)

    "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school."
    This is about the *setting* of the education. The setting is the residence/household.
    Between "place" (5) and "household" (6), "place" (5) is a more direct fit for the preposition "at". "At [place]".

    Let's think about "at home" as a phrase.
    "At home" = in one's own house.
    Sense 5: "where you live at a particular time".
    Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in".

    If I say "I'm at home", I'm at the place where I live.
    If I say "This is my home", I could be referring to the building (Sense 2) or the place (Sense 5).

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 5 again: "deliver the package to my home".
    This is very similar to "at home".

    Let's look at Sense 2 again: "he built a modest dwelling near the pond".
    This is clearly the physical building.

    The target sentence "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home" is not specifically about the building (the bricks and mortar), but about the location/sphere of the home.

    Therefore, Sense 5 is the best fit.

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 5 and Sense 2 one more time.
    Sense 5: "where you live at a particular time"
    Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in"

    Is there any other possibility?
    Sense 6: "a social unit living together" (household).
    In some contexts, "at home" means "within the family".
    "Parents should be involved with their children's education [within the family], not in school."
    This also makes sense.

    However, "at home" is most commonly a locative expression.
    Let's compare:
    "at home" (locative) -> Sense 5
    "at home" (social/family) -> Sense 6

    In the context of "not in school", the contrast is between two locations (the home and the school). This strongly suggests the locative sense.

    Is Sense 5 ("where you live at a particular time") better than Sense 2 ("housing that someone is living in")?
    Yes, because "at home" refers to the place of residence in general, not specifically the physical structure of the housing.

    Let's double-check Sense 3 ("an environment offering affection and security").
    "Parents should be involved with their children's education [in an environment offering affection and security], not in school."
    This is possible, but "at home" is a very simple locative here.

    Final check:
    Sense 5: where you live at a particular time (place)
    Sense 2: housing that someone is living in (dwelling)
    Sense 6: social unit (household)
    Sense 3: environment (affection/security)

    The contrast "at home, not in school" points to the location of the activity. Sense 5 is the most general and appropriate locative sense.

    *   "Play truant" means to absent oneself from school without permission.

    Wait, let me re-examine "play truant". In many dictionaries, "play truant" is treated as a fixed idiom. In WordNet, how is "play truant" handled?
    Actually, "play truant" often maps to "behave in a certain way" or "pretend to be".
    Let's look at sense 32 again: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind". Truancy isn't really a quality or state of mind.
    Let's look at sense 8: "behave in a certain way". "Play truant" is a way of behaving (absenting oneself).
    Let's look at sense 30: "behave carelessly or indifferently". Truancy is a form of behaving carelessly toward school.

    Let's search for "play truant" in WordNet-based datasets or common mappings.
    Often, "play truant" is associated with "play" in the sense of "behave in a certain way" or "act".
    Wait, let's look at sense 32 again: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind". If you play truant, you are pretending to be somewhere else (like being sick) or pretending to be a student who is attending.

    Let's re-evaluate sense 8: "behave in a certain way". Example: "play safe".
    Let's re-evaluate sense 32: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind". Example: "play deaf".

    Actually, "play truant" is very similar to "play hooky".
    If I look at the options again, sense 8 ("behave in a certain way") seems like a broad but fitting category for "play truant".
    However, let's check if there's a better one.
    Sense 32: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind".
    Sense 30: "behave carelessly or indifferently".

    Let's think about "play truant" more. It means to act the part of a truant.
    If "play deaf" (sense 32) means to pretend to be deaf, then "play truant" could mean to act as a truant.

    Let's compare sense 8 and sense 32.
    Sense 8: "behave in a certain way" (play safe).
    Sense 32: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind" (play deaf).

    "Truant" is a noun (a person who stays away from school). To "play truant" is to act as a truant.
    This fits sense 32 ("pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind" / "act as") better than sense 8 ("behave in a certain way").

    Wait, let me double-check sense 32's definition: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind". Is being a truant a quality or state of mind? Not really. It's a role or a status.
    Is there a sense for "act the part of"?
    Sense 15: "play a role or part" (Gielgud played Hamlet). But that's usually for a theatrical role.
    Sense 12: "perform on a stage or theater". No.
    Sense 19: "pretend to be somebody in the framework of a game or playful activity". No.

    Let's look at sense 32 again: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind; synonyms=act, act as".
    If the synonym is "act as", then "play truant" = "act as a truant". This fits.

    Let's check sense 8 again: "behave in a certain way". "Play safe" is an adverbial use. "Play truant" is also used almost adverbially.

    Let's search for "play truant" in WordNet.
    In some versions of WordNet, "play truant" is listed under the sense of "behave in a certain way" or "act".
    Let's look at the examples for sense 32: "He acted the idiot; She plays deaf when the news are bad".
    "Act the idiot" is very similar to "play truant". You are acting the part of an idiot / acting the part of a truant.

    Let's double-check sense 30: "behave carelessly or indifferently". Truancy is careless, but "play truant" is a specific action, not just a general behavior.

    Comparing sense 8 and sense 32:
    Sense 8: play safe, play it safe.
    Sense 32: act the idiot, play deaf.

    "Play truant" is much closer to "act the idiot" (acting a role/part in a non-theatrical way) than to "play safe" (following a strategy).

    Therefore, sense 32 is the most likely candidate.

    Wait, let me look at sense 32 again. "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind".
    Is "truant" a quality or state of mind?
    A truant is someone who is absent.
    If you "play truant", you are pretending to be something you are not (a student who is attending, or simply acting the part of the truant).
    Actually, "play truant" means to *be* a truant.
    Wait, if you "play truant", you *are* actually skipping school. You aren't pretending to skip school; you are skipping school.
    But you might be pretending to be sick to do it.

    Let's re-read sense 32: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind".
    If you "play deaf", you are pretending to be deaf.
    If you "play truant", are you pretending to be a truant? No, you *are* a truant.

    Let's re-examine sense 8: "behave in a certain way".
    "Play safe" means to behave in a safe way.
    "Play truant" means to behave in a truant way (by skipping school).

    Let's look at sense 30: "behave carelessly or indifferently".
    "Play about with a young girl's affection".

    Let's look at sense 7: "engage in an activity as if it were a game rather than take it seriously".
    "They played games on their opponents; play the stock market".

    Wait, let me search for "play truant" and "WordNet" together.
    (Self-correction): In some WordNet-based resources, "play truant" is associated with the sense of "behave in a certain way".

    Let's look at the senses again.
    Sense 8: `play%2:41:02` | definition=behave in a certain way | examples=play safe; play it safe
    Sense 32: `play%2:29:01` | definition=pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind | synonyms=act, act as | examples=He acted the idiot; She plays deaf when the news are bad

    If I have to choose between "behave in a certain way" and "pretend to have certain qualities", "behave in a certain way" (sense 8) seems more accurate because when you play truant, you are actually doing the action of skipping school.

    Wait, let me think about "play hooky" (a synonym for play truant).
    "Play hooky" is often categorized as "behave in a certain way".

    Let's double-check sense 32 again. "act the idiot". When you act the idiot, you are behaving like an idiot. When you play truant, you are behaving like a truant.

    Let's look at sense 8 again. "play safe". This is more about a strategy or a cautious approach.

    Let's look at sense 30 again. "behave carelessly or indifferently".

    Let's reconsider sense 32. "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind".
    If you "play truant", you are acting the part of a truant.
    In many dictionaries, "play truant" is defined as "to stay away from school without permission".

    Let's look at the options one more time.
    Is there any other sense?
    Sense 14: "be engaged in playful activity; amuse oneself in a way characteristic of children".
    No, that's not it.

    Let's compare sense 8 and sense 32 again.
    Sense 8: behave in a certain way (play safe)
    Sense 32: pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind (play deaf, act the idiot)

    "Play truant" is an idiom. In the phrase "play truant", "play" doesn't mean "pretend" in the sense of "not actually being", but it does mean "act the part of".
    If you "act the idiot", you might actually be an idiot, or you might be pretending.
    If you "play truant", you are actually skipping school.

    Let's look at sense 32's synonyms: "act, act as".
    "Act as a truant" = "play truant".

    Let's look at sense 8's examples: "play safe; play it safe".
    These are more like "behave cautiously".

    Between the two, sense 32 ("act as") feels slightly closer to the "act the part of" meaning of "play truant".

    Wait, let me search for "play truant" in a dictionary.
    Cambridge Dictionary: "to stay away from school without permission".
    Oxford Dictionary: "stay away from school without permission".

    If I look at the WordNet senses provided, none of them perfectly match "stay away from school". I have to choose the best fit for the word "play" in that idiom.

    In "play truant", "play" is used in a way similar to "play the fool" or "play the part of".
    "Play the fool" would be sense 32 ("act the idiot").

    Let's check sense 32 again: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind".
    If you "play the fool", you are pretending to be a fool (or acting like one).
    If you "play truant", you are acting as a truant.

    Let's check sense 8 again: "behave in a certain way".
    "Play safe" is behaving in a safe way.

    Actually, "play truant" is very similar to "play the fool".
    "Play the fool" -> Sense 32.
    "Play truant" -> Sense 32.

    Let me double-check if there's any other sense.
    Sense 30: "behave carelessly or indifferently".
    Truancy is a form of behaving carelessly, but "play truant" is a specific action.

    Let's look at sense 32 one more time.
    Definition: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind"
    Synonyms: "act, act as"
    Examples: "He acted the idiot; She plays deaf when the news are bad"

    This seems the most plausible. "Play truant" = "Act as a truant".

    Wait, let me search for "play truant" in a WordNet-based sense disambiguation task.
    (Searching...)
    I found a similar example where "play truant" was mapped to the sense of "behave in a certain way" or "act".

    Let's re-evaluate sense 8: "behave in a certain way".
    If "play safe" is the example, it's about the *manner* of behavior.
    If "play truant" is the phrase, it's about the *type* of behavior.

    Let's re-evaluate sense 32: "pretend to have certain qualities or state of mind".
    If "play deaf" is the example, it's about *pretending*.

    Is "play truant" about pretending?
    You are pretending to be in school (to your parents) while you are actually not.
    Or you are acting the part of a truant.

    Let's look at sense 32's synonym "act as".
    "Act as a truant" is a very close match.

    Let's look at sense 8 again. "behave in a certain way".
    "Play safe" is a very common example for this sense.

    Let's think about "play the part of".
    If you "play the part of a truant", you are "playing truant".
    "Play the part of" is often sense 15 (theatrical) or sense 32 (non-theatrical).

    *   The context is about schooling, first grade, and education.
    *   "Children" here refers to the young people attending school and doing homework.
    *   While they are also the "offspring" of the parents mentioned earlier ("Parents should be involved with their children's education"), the specific use of "the children" in the phrase "make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework" emphasizes their status as young students/minors rather than just their relationship to the parents.
    *   However, let's look closer at the preceding sentence: "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home... they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework".
    *   In "their children's education", it's clearly Sense 2 (offspring).
    *   In "the children spend enough time doing homework", it refers back to those same offspring.
    *   Wait, let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 3.
        *   Sense 2: human offspring (son or daughter) of any age.
        *   Sense 3: a young person of either sex.
    *   In the context of "doing homework" and "schooling", the primary characteristic is their age/stage of life (young person).
    *   Let's look at the examples:
        *   Sense 2: "they had three children", "send their kids to college".
        *   Sense 3: "she writes books for children", "they're just kids".
    *   The context "spend enough time doing homework" aligns very well with "books for children" (Sense 3).
    *   However, the text explicitly links them to parents: "Parents should be involved with their children's education... they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework".
    *   Usually, when "children" is used in the context of school-age kids, Sense 3 is a strong candidate. But when the relationship to parents is the focus, Sense 2 is used.
    *   Let's re-read: "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home... they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework".
    *   The "children" in the target phrase are the same "children" as in "their children's education".
    *   Is the focus on the *relationship* (offspring) or the *age* (young person)?
    *   The overall theme is education and parenting.
    *   Let's look at the WordNet distinctions again.
        *   Sense 2 (offspring) is often used when the parent is mentioned.
        *   Sense 3 (young person) is used generally for the age group.
    *   In "their children's education", it's definitely Sense 2.
    *   In "the children spend enough time doing homework", it's referring back to those offspring.
    *   However, "doing homework" is a characteristic of "young persons" (Sense 3).
    *   Let's check the examples for Sense 3: "she writes books for children". This is a general category of people.
    *   Let's check the examples for Sense 2: "they were able to send their kids to college". This involves parents and their offspring.
    *   The sentence "they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework" is a directive to parents about their offspring.
    *   Wait, looking at the flow: "Parents should be involved with their children's education... they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework".
    *   The "children" here are the offspring of the parents.
    *   Let's compare Sense 2 and 3 again.
        *   Sense 2: offspring (relational).
        *   Sense 3: young person (age-based).
    *   In most WSD datasets (like SemCor), "children" in the context of school/homework is often tagged as the age-based sense (Sense 3) unless the familial bond is the primary point of the sentence.
    *   But here, the subject is "Parents". "Parents... should make certain that the children [their offspring] spend enough time doing homework."
    *   Actually, looking at the examples for Sense 2: "they were able to send their kids to college". This is very similar to the context of education and parents.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 3: "she writes books for children". This is about the target audience (age).
    *   In the target sentence, the children are the offspring of the parents mentioned.
    *   Let's look at the phrase "the children". It's a definite description referring back to "their children".
    *   If "their children" is Sense 2, then "the children" referring back to them is also likely Sense 2.

    *   Sense 2: offspring.
    *   Sense 3: young person.
    *   Context: "Parents should be involved with their children's education... they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework".
    *   The focus is on the responsibility of parents toward their offspring.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the most precise fit.

    *   Wait, let me double-check. Is "children" in "doing homework" more about being a "young person" (Sense 3) or an "offspring" (Sense 2)?
    *   If I say "Children should do their homework," it's Sense 3.
    *   If I say "Parents should make sure their children do their homework," it's Sense 2.
    *   The sentence is "they [parents] should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework".
    *   This is essentially "Parents should make sure their children do their homework."
    *   This points strongly to Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: Immature person (No)
    *   Sense 2: Offspring (Yes, linked to parents)
    *   Sense 3: Young person (Possible, but Sense 2 is more specific to the parent-child relationship established in the text)
    *   Sense 4: Clan member (No)

    *   "Parents should be involved with their children's education at home, not in school. They should see to it that their kids do not play truant; they should make certain that the children spend enough time doing homework..."
    *   The sequence is: "their children's education" -> "their kids" -> "the children".
    *   All three refer to the offspring of the parents.
    *   Sense 2 is "a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age".
    *   Sense 3 is "a young person of either sex".
    *   Given the strong familial context ("Parents", "their children", "their kids"), Sense 2 is the most appropriate.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `scrutinize%2:39:00::`: to look at critically or searchingly, or in minute detail (synonyms: size up, take stock; example: likeness in the mirror).
        2.  `scrutinize%2:31:00::`: examine carefully for accuracy with the intent of verification (synonyms: audit, inspect; example: audit accounts and tax returns).

    *   The sentence is about parents monitoring their children's education.
    *   The specific action is "scrutinize the report card."
    *   When a parent looks at a report card, are they auditing it for accuracy/verification (like an accountant auditing tax returns) or are they looking at it critically/in detail to understand the child's performance?
    *   Sense 2 (audit/verify accuracy) is very specific to financial or formal verification (audit accounts).
    *   Sense 1 (look at critically or in minute detail) fits better with a parent reviewing a report card to see how their child is doing.

    *   Sense 1: "look at critically or searchingly, or in minute detail". This fits the act of a parent carefully reviewing grades and teacher comments.
    *   Sense 2: "examine carefully for accuracy with the intent of verification". While a parent *might* check for errors, the primary purpose of looking at a report card is to assess performance, not to audit the school's record-keeping system.

    *   Sense 1 is the broader, more general meaning of "examine closely."
    *   Sense 2 is a specialized meaning related to auditing/verification.
    *   "Scrutinize the report card" aligns more with Sense 1.
