Target lemma: parent
Target surface form: parents
Context:
We know that very early exposure to schooling improves performance in the first grade, but afterward the difference is quickly washed away. Let us sum up what we do know about education and about those education reforms that do work and do not work: -- "Parental involvement "is a bad idea. Parents are too likely to blame schools for the educational limitations of their children. 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; they should scrutinize the report card. If <t>parents</t> are dissatisfied with a school, they should have the option of switching to another. -- "Community involvement "is an even worse idea.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `parent%1:03:00::`: an organism (plant or animal) from which younger ones are obtained.
        2.  `parent%1:18:00::`: a father or mother; one who begets or one who gives birth to or nurtures and raises a child; a relative who plays the role of guardian.

    *   The context explicitly mentions "Parental involvement", "blame schools for the educational limitations of their children", "involved with their children's education at home", "their kids", "their children", and "switching to another [school]".
    *   This clearly refers to human parents (fathers/mothers/guardians) in the context of child-rearing and education.

    *   Sense 1 is a biological definition applicable to plants and animals in general.
    *   Sense 2 is specifically about fathers, mothers, and guardians of children.

    *   The sentence says parents should have the "option of switching to another [school]".
    *   This means they should have the *possibility* or *alternative* to switch schools.
    *   It refers to a choice available to them (switching schools is one of the options).

    *   Sense 1: "one of a number of things from which only one can be chosen" (alternative, choice). This fits perfectly. Switching to another school is an alternative/choice available to the parents.
    *   Sense 2: "the act of choosing or selecting". This refers to the *process* of choosing (e.g., "your choice of colors was unfortunate"). The context isn't about the *act* of choosing, but the *existence* of a choice/alternative.

    *   Sense 4 is the most appropriate definition for "community" when referring to local residents' involvement in a school system.

    *   The word "Here" refers back to the point being made about "Community involvement" being a bad idea. It's not referring to a physical location (the writer isn't necessarily in NYC, nor is the "idea" located in a place), nor a specific time, nor a direction.
    *   It means "In this respect" or "Regarding this point" or "In this particular case/circumstance."

    *   Sense 1: Physical place. (Incorrect)

    *   Sense 4: In this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail. (Correct)

    *   The context "Here, the experience of New York City is decisive" uses "Here" to introduce a specific example or point of evidence supporting the previous claim ("Community involvement is an even worse idea"). This matches the definition "in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail."

    *   Sense 1: `undergo a change or development` (synonyms: turn; examples: water turned into ice, friend became enemy).

    *   Sense 3: `enhance the appearance of` (synonyms: suit; examples: Mourning becomes Electra).
    *   Sense 4: `come into existence` (example: What becomes has duration).

    *   The sentence says school boards "become the prey of... politicians."
    *   This means the school boards change their status or state to be "the prey."
    *   Is it "undergo a change or development" (Sense 1) or "enter or assume a certain state or condition" (Sense 2)?
    *   Sense 1 often involves a transformation into something else (water -> ice, friend -> enemy).
    *   Sense 2 often involves a state or condition (annoyed, serious).
    *   "Becoming the prey" is more of a change in status/role (like "became her worst enemy" in Sense 1) than a state of mind or a general condition (like "annoyed" in Sense 2).
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1: "undergo a change or development" (Example: "Her former friend became her worst enemy"). This matches the pattern "X became Y" where Y is a noun phrase describing a new role or identity.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 2: "enter or assume a certain state or condition" (Example: "He became annoyed"). This usually involves adjectives.

    *   "Become the prey" fits the pattern of Sense 1 (X becomes Y, where Y is a noun phrase indicating a change in role/identity).

    *   Sense 1: Change/development (Noun phrase complement: "the prey").
    *   Sense 2: State/condition (Adjective complement: "annoyed").
    *   Sense 3: Suit/appearance (Not applicable).
    *   Sense 4: Existence (Not applicable).

    The example "Her former friend became her worst enemy" in Sense 1 is very similar to "school boards... become the prey of... politicians." Both involve a change in the relationship or role of the subject.

    *   Sense 3: "without distinction of one from others" (Synonyms: in general, in the main).

    *   The sentence describes local politicians as "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic."
    *   "Generally corrupt" here means that most of these politicians are corrupt, or that corruption is a common/usual trait among them.
    *   Let's test the synonyms:
        *   "usually corrupt" (Sense 1) - Fits well.
        *   "mostly corrupt" (Sense 1) - Fits well.
        *   "broadly corrupt" (Sense 2) - Doesn't fit well in this context (broadly usually refers to interpretation or description).
        *   "in general corrupt" (Sense 3) - Fits, but Sense 1 ("usually/mostly") is a more precise fit for a characteristic of a group of people.

    *   Sense 1: "usually; as a rule" / "mostly". If we say "generally corrupt", we mean that in most cases, these politicians are corrupt.
    *   Sense 2: "without regard to specific details". This is about a level of abstraction (e.g., "generally speaking").
    *   Sense 3: "without distinction of one from others". This is about a category (e.g., "snakes in general").

    In the phrase "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic", "generally" modifies "corrupt". It indicates the frequency or prevalence of corruption among the group. "Usually" or "mostly" (Sense 1) is the most natural fit.

    *   "Invariably demagogic" means always.
    *   "Generally corrupt" means usually/mostly.
    *   "Ambitious" is a trait.
    *   This contrast (invariably vs. generally) strongly suggests that "generally" is being used to mean "most of the time" or "in most cases".

    Sense 1: usually; as a rule. (Matches "mostly/usually").

    *   Sense 3 (errors/alterations) is for texts/data. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 2 (dishonest/immoral/evasive/crooked) and Sense 4 (lacking in integrity) both apply to people/governments.

    *   The context mentions "local politicians" and "school boards."

    *   Sense 2 is more about the general trait of being dishonest/crooked.
    *   In WordNet, `corrupt%3:00:00` (Sense 4) often refers to the systemic or institutional lack of integrity (like government), while `corrupt%3:00:04` (Sense 2) is more about the individual's dishonesty.

    *   Candidate senses:

        2.  `local%3:00:01::`: relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area (e.g., local taxes, local authorities).
        3.  `local%3:00:02::`: affecting only a restricted part or area of the body (e.g., local anesthesia).

    *   The sentence discusses "Locally elected school boards" and "local politicians" in the context of "school governance" in "larger cities" (New York City, Chicago).
    *   The focus is on the administration/governance of the city/district (school boards, politicians) as opposed to a larger area (state or national level).

    *   Sense 1: "of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood". This is a general sense of being from a place.
    *   Sense 2: "relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area". This specifically mentions administration, city/town/district, and contrasts it with a larger area.
    *   Sense 3: Medical sense (body part). Irrelevant.

    *   The context is about "school boards" and "politicians" involved in "school governance". This is clearly about administration/government at the city/district level.
    *   Sense 2 ("administration of a city or town or district") fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 1 is more about general characteristics or belonging to a neighborhood. While "local politicians" could be seen as belonging to a locality, the specific context of "school boards" and "governance" points strongly toward the administrative sense.

    *   Sense 2 is the most precise fit for "local politicians" in the context of "school boards" and "governance".

    *   The context mentions "Locally elected school boards," "ambitious, generally corrupt, and invariably demagogic local politicians."
    *   The phrase "locally elected" strongly points towards people active in party politics or holding elected office.
    *   The adjectives "ambitious," "corrupt," and "demagogic" are often associated with the stereotypical view of party politicians (politicos).
    *   Sense 1: "a person active in party politics" fits well with "locally elected" and "demagogic."
    *   Sense 2: "a schemer who tries to gain advantage in an organization in sly or underhanded ways." While "corrupt" fits, the context specifically mentions "locally elected school boards," which implies formal political roles rather than just internal organizational scheming.
    *   Sense 3: "a leader engaged in civil administration." This is more about the *function* of governing (administration) rather than the *nature* of the person (elected, demagogic, party-affiliated).

    *   The term "locally elected" is the key. People who are elected to boards are typically active in party politics (Sense 1).
    *   "Demagogic" specifically refers to a political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: Person active in party politics. (Fits "locally elected", "demagogic").
    *   Sense 2: Schemer. (Fits "corrupt", but too narrow for "locally elected").
    *   Sense 3: Civil administration leader. (Too neutral; doesn't capture the "elected/demagogic" aspect as well as Sense 1).

    *   The most precise fit for "locally elected... demagogic local politicians" is Sense 1.

    *   The context mentions "Locally elected school boards," "ambitious," "generally corrupt," and "invariably demagogic local politicians."
    *   The phrase "locally elected" strongly points towards people active in party politics or civil administration.
    *   The adjectives "ambitious," "corrupt," and "demagogic" are often associated with the pejorative view of politicians (sense 1 or 3).
    *   However, the core meaning here is about people running for or holding elected office (school boards).

    *   Sense 1: "a person active in party politics". This fits "locally elected school boards" and "local politicians."
    *   Sense 2: "a leader engaged in civil administration". While school boards are administration, "politician" usually implies the political process of getting elected.

While the text calls them "corrupt" and "demagogic," they are specifically "locally elected" and "local politicians," which refers to the role/profession of politics rather than just general scheming within any organization.

    *   Sense 1 is the most direct fit for "locally elected" and "local politicians."

    *   Sense 1: Person active in party politics. (Fits "locally elected", "local politicians").

    *   Sense 2: "a particular course of action intended to achieve a result".
    *   Disengaging from a system of governance is a course of action intended to achieve a result.
    *   However, "in the process of" is a very common idiom.
    *   Let's check WordNet's typical usage. "In the process of" often maps to the sense of a series of actions or a progression.
    *   Sense 2 (procedure/course of action) fits the "trying to disengage" part better because it's a deliberate action.
    *   Sense 4 is often more about natural/physical processes (calcification).

    *   Sense 2: "a particular course of action intended to achieve a result"
    *   Sense 4: "a sustained phenomenon or one marked by gradual changes through a series of states"

*   Target lemma: `governance`
    *   Target surface form: `governance`
    *   Context: "...New York is in the process of trying to disengage itself from a 20-year-old commitment to this system of school <t>governance</t>, even as Chicago and other cities are moving to institute it."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `governance%1:14:00::`: the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something (synonyms: administration, governing body, establishment, brass, organization).
        2.  `governance%1:04:00::`: the act of governing; exercising authority (synonyms: government, governing, government activity, administration).

    *   The phrase is "system of school governance".
    *   The context discusses "Locally elected school boards" and the "experience of New York City" regarding how schools are managed/run.
    *   "System of school governance" refers to the *way* schools are governed (the act/process/structure of exercising authority), rather than the specific *people* (the board members themselves), although the people are part of that system.
    *   Comparing the two senses:
        *   Sense 1 focuses on the *people/body* (the administration, the brass).
        *   Sense 2 focuses on the *act/process* of governing (the activity, the exercise of authority).
    *   "System of school governance" typically refers to the framework or the act of governing the schools.

    *   Sense 1: "the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body..."
    *   Sense 2: "the act of governing; exercising authority"
    *   In "system of school governance", "governance" describes the process or method of exercising authority over the schools. While a "governing body" (Sense 1) is involved, the "system of governance" refers to the overall act/arrangement of governing.

    *   If it were Sense 1, it would be like saying "system of school administration (the people)".
    *   If it were Sense 2, it would be like saying "system of school government (the act/process)".
    *   Usually, "governance" in the context of "corporate governance" or "school governance" refers to the system/process of directing and controlling (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1: "the governance of an association is responsible to its members" (Here, governance = the governing body).
    *   Sense 2: "regulations for the governing of state prisons" (Here, governing = the act).

    *   "system of school governance" -> The way schools are governed. This aligns better with the act/process of exercising authority (Sense 2).

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 1: "the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something".
    *   Let me re-read Sense 2: "the act of governing; exercising authority".
    *   "System of school governance" refers to the structure/process of how authority is exercised. This is Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: People/Body.
    *   Sense 2: Act/Process.
    *   "System of school governance" = The system of exercising authority over schools. -> Sense 2.
