• We came to recognize that our initial thinking about the keys to educational reform was wrong. The key variables weren't pedagogical. They weren't financial. They weren't curricular.

Esta verdad-obediencia se convertirá entonces en una verdad-consenso aceptada por muchos individuos incapaces de enfrentarse solos a la mayoría.
