Green school sounds amazing. I was told what to do when I was a child, and as I entered adulthood. I wasn't allowed to be a writer. I didn't mind learning the piano because my mum had wanted to when she was young, but I'd have rather they listened to what I wanted to do. I'm a writer now. I refuse to be beaten by my parent's constraints. But at that time I had no choice but to do what I was told. I completely agree with your approach. It makes so much more sense.
