Oh my God, I was so happy when we finally got art class in grade 7. It was elective, though, you didn’t have to take it. I think art and music are part of education - they are such human skills, and tech you to think in a different way.

Group projects are nonsense though, on that we agree. I hated them so much, and have no problem at all working together with people as an adult. If your grade is individual your work should be too.
