+1 that's so true. Lived through that several times and as a rebel I didn't adapt to the "form", but added much more time into the project to somehow allow my submission by using a loophole, when possible. I also had submissions that failed altough perfectly ok, but it wasn't conforming to what they knew that was conforming. Once I got a D because the teacher didn't believe me that I wrote it, but I did. He just refused to accept it, because it was too good to believe in his opinion (that was a longish rhyme we had to do about homeless people). Sometimes I believe it was wasted time, but then I think that I was glad to learn something new on my own. A friend of mine got accepted at a top university for his Masters degree in Computer Science, but he will drop out to complete his master using a MOOC (Massively Open Online Courses).
