> So, I have two choices: Use proprietary software, or fail high school.
Which service using flash are they expecting that you use? If it is showing videos, probably there are solutions. I had good experiences with my teachers about that since we had success finding a solution, not with flash but with .docs and the use of non-free programs for doing calcs. It requires a bit of will, but doing that you are been an activist and you're changing your environment, even if you finally have no other option that use privative software. You will be creating/continuing the idea that privative software is problem inside the minds of your environment. Teachers are more open than we think, though. I wish you good luck at any case.
