Why do some people treat art class as if it's a joke?

<p>For the most part, at my school, art is a joke. Like, a huge joke. I know a girl enrolled in Studio III Honors who literally doesn’t show up to class 60% of the time and still pulls of A+'s. I’m in Studio II in order to fulfill a graduation requirement - and though I find it fun, I can acknowledge how big of a joke it is… I literally spent all of art class today walking around the school with my friend looking for my guidance counselor so I can discuss class rank… I also get straight A’s in that class… lol.</p>
