Why do people think art/photography school is " so easy " ?

Like today my dad asked me what my grades are in art school. I said " I have 4 A's and One B in English. My dad just replied " anybody can get a A in art school, art school isn't college". My classes are almost 4 hours long. And teachers aren't fluffy with your artwork, they tell you how it is and they don't just give out A's. Its not the first time either someone says art school is nothing. I write 20 pages a freaking week, draw at least 30 freaking drawings each week, write every single day, take photos and paint. You can't just breeze through art, it's not like math where you can get the right answer if you follow the dang steps. I would like to see someone else try to paint a painting and explain why the hell you used what color and then critique for 3 hours. I'm working harder then I ever did in art school and it's getting me mad that " I'm not doing anything and I should of went to a "real college".
I'm not feeling under-appreciated i'm getting mad that this is what I chose and I'm already worried about being a photographer. It's not a helping that i'm reminded often how other people in my family are going into bio-engineering field and I'm just a " Photographer".
