[quote=Anonymous][quote]This sounds like an advertisement for an expensive test prep program. Did you even read the whole post you quoted? No one says scores don't matter, but that there are narrow methods and broad methods to get there. The broader methods will get you a better educated adult. And in the very long run, it's not the score that matters, but what lies behind the score that matters.[/quote]

Well, you must be kidding.  Your argument smacks of the difference between narrow and broad rape.
The scare DOES matter in America.
Sports is a mega multi-billion dollar industry (see Penn State) and American adults, parents and their kids provide all the evidence the SCORE does matter.  And to the exemplary athletes you mention (jordan, kobe, phelps, federer, serena, lance amstrong, babe ruth, larry bird) the SCORE does matter.  I suggest you descend from your throne and smell the roses.  The score matters to the athletes and the hero whorshipping spectators who are largely American like yourself.  The proof is all around you.  Open your eyes and ears. Are you then surprised Americans are counting National MeritFfinalists like summer olympic medals?
