Yeah, no. Have you looked at the way education is performed and assessed lately? > The whole point of testing is to put them in hypothetical situations and grade their progress with purpose of being aware of their development so we can improve it.

Most teachers optimize for their time commitments and "coverage" of the syllabus material.
