Why must a Chinese take a harder course than non-Chinese students?

<p>“Stop telling ME I shouldn’t take a class just for MARKS when you guys took APs and still took the first-year courses!”</p>

<p>What a straw man argument, has anybody even claimed they’ve done this? I haven’t, I wouldn’t waste my time taking a course I already got credit for, I would be bored out of my mind. When I hear people doing this, though, it’s usually because they got a 3 and credit, but didn’t understand the topic as much as they’d like or needed to. Much different than being fluent in a language and taking a course in it anyway.</p>

<p>“All people take courses they’re good in.”</p>

<p>People pick majors and subjects that they enjoy and are best at. Within these subjects there are courses that the students haven’t spent their life internalizing, more than likely even courses the student has never heard of. </p>

<p>I’d respect your argument more if you were claiming that you’d still have to put in hard work to get a good grade in that class, but instead your “performance” rant seems to suggest you not only want to take the class but you want to be given an A right away for being fluent. How can you expect anybody to sympathize with you?</p>
