A. Absolutely. By pounding away at the message that the numbers are all that matter, that's all that test-takers care about. That is why you find kids programming test answers in their calculators, writing scantron answers on bubble-gum paper, etc. Students won't bother to actually learn something unless they are tested on the actual facts of the subject. Multiple choice tests teach students to look for "patterns in the answers", and focus on eliminating wrong answers, and getting a,b,c,d in the right sequence, like some kind of James Bond lock.

Q. Allen Stanford said after the All Stars victory that West Indies is back yet they've just been whitewashed by Pakistan, who have not had top class cricket for ages. What does this say about Stanford series and more importantly all the emphasis on T20 cricket?

A. Cricket has slowly been taken over by other sports like football and basketball. Big cash incentives might motivate people to play cricket. It could be good. It might also turn them into a country full of 20/20 players. Time will tell.
