There's also the fact that the more classes you have to take, the more classes you have to pay for. Even the "we want well-rounded students" argument doesn't cover half the bullshit I had to take.

What really bugs me about them, though, is that I had to take an English class I tested out of for no good reason beyond "you need to take at least one at this school to get a degree". I had enough AP English classes to get out of my lower-division English requirement entirely, and on top of that my placement test told me I didn't need to take an English class. But if I wanted that/those Associate Degrees, I had to take an English class at my school (and I couldn't even just take a specialty literature class or something interesting, because those were humanities, I needed to take an English "skill-building" class >.<)

My father is from and went to school in India, and I think the first time he started to really get just how messed up the American education system was when he saw me taking yet more science classes I had absolutely no need of as a social sciences student. That or The Conic Equations Story.
