It's school. Use what they tell you to use. When you get into the real world at a company, you will get told to do tons of stupid crap you wont want to do. And you can learn to do it, or find a different job. If you want to be able to do whatever you want, become good enough at something to be your own boss (or be good enough to have a great job at a great company). And for you to do that, learning how to program from your teacher is not going to help. Learn python on your own and learn VB.net from your teacher. If you don't have the motivation to do that, you'll be stuck in bad jobs doing shit you don't want to do anyway, and clearly school has yet to teach you that vital lesson.

Oh to be a teenager again.
