What about art? How should I go about this situation?

I am fighting myself as a student at school. I love my art, my brain functions and thinks "art", but no one in my family, friends, and school recognize this. I am scolded for not being smart (a.k.a knowing math and science, even though I do well in my other subjects). I was creative since I was a child, building houses and hotels with elevators from cardboard and papers, filming my own talk shows with my cousins, filming and making my own movies with my cousins, etc. All of that has to be put aside to do packets of chemistry work, senseless geometry homework, and many more. I was first greatly appalled at the fact that there are students out there that would hate school, but now I can understand their point of view and how they are frustrated as well. I do art, and I am building upon my own business to sell my art. I am also trying to start my own youtube channel. Everyone always tells me that I DO have time to do them, but I always come home from schools exhausted and fatigued and not motivated to do any of the sorts. Everyone at schools looks at me weirdly just for this situation only, because their focus is through the education system. They want to become something, and the way to do so can be easily done through education. However, everyone fails to realize that art is smugged and ignored as just a "Habit" and something that everyone can master. I don't have art at my school, because ALL OF THE SCHOOL FUNDING was put in the engineering and robotics program. Now the only way I can grow from my art is away from school. The teachers know this, but don't do anything and give the cliche statement, "That is just the way it works. That is just how it is". I am hurt, I am TRULY hurt.
