English to Spanish Art/Literary Education / Pedagogy

¿Hay alguna manera metafórica de traducir "spell out" más allá de deletrear? El contexto es el siguiente:
When I got to graduate school and began investigating post-graduate work, I finally learned what it meant to be an adjunct, and what such positions entailed. When it occurred to me that this was the job Harvey had, I was embarrassed by my naïveté, and angry that the school had never spelled this out for me, had never made it clear that so much of the work that Harvey did for his students was essentially uncompensated.
Entiendo que se refiere a que nadie se lo hubiese aclarado/explicado antes.
Gracias
