“Because they’re serious about academics.”
No, they are not. Indians make the worst college students.
“No, they are not. Indians make the worst college students.”
I wonder if that’s due to the same sort of factor that my ex, who grew up in China, explained to me. Competition to get the best middle school grades and marks on standardized tests was intense, so that you could get into the best high schools. Basically only students from the best high schools had any chance of gaining admittance to the best (or any) universities in China. And at, only the students with the best grades. But once in university, the students felt they had “made it” and could coast through getting their degree.
She also told me about doing badly on part of the tests she had to write at the age of 14 (or so), basically eliminating her chance at going to the best high schools or university. One test basically decided her future, at least academically.
