难句分析

主句

Reform has been opposed

主语 谓语

定语从句

(education) where charter schools… merit pay faced drawn-out battles

先行词 从属连词 主语 谓语 宾语

本句是复合句。在主句中，两逗号之间的短语perhapsmost notoriously in education是省略句，若补充完整，该句应为perhaps reform has been most notoriously opposed in education，该短语作同位语，对reform进行解释说明。主句意为“改革一直遭到强烈反对，可能著名的就是在教育行业”。where引导定语从句，修饰限定education。
