83. Although parents would be able to devote much more time and energy to their children, it must be admitted that parents have little experience and knowledge on how to educate and supervise the children when compared with teachers working in kindergartens or nursery schools.

尽管父母能在他们孩子身上投入更多时间和精力，但是必须承认，与工作在幼儿园的专职教师相比，他们在如何管理教育孩子方面缺乏知识和经验。

86. Many government officers always go into raptures at the mere mention of artistic and cultural projects.
