This topic has been burning a hole in my mind for the longest time.
To answer the question; "Is there anything I can do to make sure education can fit my needs."
For me the most important thing is the arts courses. The arts courses are cool in the sense that we get to practice some art. Other than that, there's not much we can change because the grade always come down to who's teaching the art class and what they have been taught. If you can't fit their style, then guess what, you may not get the grade you need to get into art college. I would say the only way of meeting the teacher's need is by copying the teacher's style and leaving yours in the dirt. I don't get to study what I need because the teacher didn't go for the same program, so they don't know how to teach it.
I would say give your all into the course but this isn't like math or science where there is a right or wrong answer and you can prove why. With art no matter how much work you put into something there will always be people who won't like it and unfortunately sometimes that's your teacher.
Thats my view, tell me yours.
Arrgh. Now I am so depressed. If you are being put down this much please learn to stand up for yourself (even if it is to me). Next year you will be in another world where individuality and self-confidence will be rewarded.

- because is a conjunction
- who's = who is , whose is possessive
- their style (possessive) there is a place
- teacher's need - possessive X2
