Based on my experiences with the teachers my kids had a decade or so ago, all you would have to do is find a way to test for it and then put it on the state-mandated test that is used to evaluate schools.

Often the only thing that is taught is what is on those tests.

That’s a good thing.

Assessing and measuring student knowledge is very important. Impossible to evaluate and improve current teaching methods otherwise.
