SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH

Directions: Translate the following text into English.

我一直以为大学校长是高瞻远瞩、指导学术与教育大方向的决策人，而不是管馒头稀饭的保姆，但这也暂且不提。这一类型的教育者的用心，毋庸置疑，当然是善意的。问题是，我们论“事”的时候，用心如何根本不重要，重要的是实际的后果，而教育的后果何其严重!在这种过度呵护的幼稚教育下成长的大学生，遇事时，除了“泪眼汪汪”之外又能做些什么呢？

教育者或许会说：这些学生如果进大学以前，就已经学好自治自律的话，我就不必要如此提之携之，喂之哺之；就是因为基础教育没教好，所以我办大学的人不得不教。虽然是亡羊补牢，总比不教好。
