In ...I do think this is the right decision for you. In any case art teacher makes more sense than writing teacher, but then I am a little prejudiced against "creative" writing courses. Certainly pupils at school (as opposed to college: being English I mean school = up to 18, college = > 18, approx) should be taught how to use the language correctly, though there are not too many teachers capable of doing that, at least here, where English first developed. <br /><br />Writing is something we all need to learn, like doing up our shoelaces. You cannot teach someone to write a novel, or rather you don't need to. We swim in language, think in language. Art and music do require specialist study and teachers.<br /><br />I am "an editor of some sort". I am helping one writer of short stories to put a collection together.
