When I was in high school, the counselors knew who the native speakers were. It was documented by the language surveys filled out for the school. Yes, this was thousands of years ago but as a native Spanish speaker, I was not allowed to take AP Spanish because I needed to take a FOREIGN language-which for me was English.
I was given a choice of taking classes in French, German or Japanese. I took French. So, I’m not quite trilingual, but the French helped with my SAT vocabulary.
My children didn’t want to take AP Spanish. Their AP courses gave them ELECTIVE credits, it did nothing for their ADMISSION other than giving them good grades in AP History, Literature, Calculus, Bio, Chemistry, Art History, etc. I have spent a fortune in AP fees for 3 kids and all it did was give them advanced status to register for classes at their colleges. (3 completely different colleges in 3 completely different geographical regions, all used the AP tests for elective credits)
I want to know which schools give acceptances and admissions to kids who take AP Chinese.
Had I known that my children could take AP CHINESE and get automatic admission to their colleges, I would have forced all 3 of my children to take the classes and go to Saturday School in Chinese with their mandarin speaking friends!
This is such a foolish and racist rant, it is ridiculous!!!
Go get some sensitivity training because if you ever work for a corporation, you will be required to take some classes in it.
