" ... "Close to never" seems a likely prediction. Wexler suggests it would help to make test subjects more predictable, with test makers announcing possible topics ahead of time, but this would simply narrow the curriculum with a differently-oriented vice, taking us back to a more traditional form of test prep, but test prep instead of education none the less. More to the point, it would call on test manufacturers and policy makers to completely change the direction that they have plainly chosen for themselves. Her idea is akin to suggesting to a mugger, "This would go a lot better if you gave me money instead of trying to take money from me." ... "
" ... It’s similar to Crocodile Dundee saying to a switchblade-wielding mugger, “That’s not a knife!” Then, brandishing his large Bowie knife, he says, “That’s a knife!” ... "
