exactly. i was never good at maths, science or anything because i'm not a logical person, my talents lie in my creativity. the very fact that the public school system puts down creative individuals and that it is creative subjects that are getting cut from higher education faculties means that countries will end up as working drones with no art or culture attached to their society.
what's funny is that when i went into my senior years of high school (well, i'm still in high school, this was last year), i was told not to do subjects like modern studies and music because i was told by the teachers that i wouldn't be able to keep up with the courses. i had to get my PARENTS to insist that i take the courses and hey look, A's straight through. i got better marks in those subjects than i did with english, the ONLY subject i was told i could handle that year. moral of the story? teachers don't know what the hell they're talking about.
