In fact, a clear distinction can be drawn between two subsets of legislative achievements: those that, while not meaningless, are incomplete, superficial, or essentially maintain the status quo, and those that will change Mexico (if all goes well). The changes in how teachers are evaluated and their labor rights (wrongly described as an education reform), together with changes to tax and telecommunications legislation, belong to the first category; energy and political reforms belong to the second.
事实上，立法成就可以明确划分为两个部分：一部分虽然并非毫无意义，但改革内容片面、肤浅、或者说从本质上维持现状，而如果一切进展顺利，另一部分则能让墨西哥的现状发生变化。教师评估方式及其劳工权利（错误地被描述为教育改革）改革连同税收和电信法规改革均属于第一大类；而能源和政治改革则属于后者。
