I was in a fiction writing course a few years ago and had a similar experience... My first short story was fantasy, and then the teacher politely and somewhat condescendingly told me she didn't accept genre fiction in her class--she didn't know the conventions and would be unable to grade it well. But it's very sellable!--so she said. So my second story... I wrote quirky realism. Because she's the one giving me a grade and I figured that meant I had to do whatever she said to get a better grade. Short stories weren't my thing anyways--novels were--so it's not like the class was really producing anything I planned on using on its own. I just treated it like writing an essay for any other class and kept my head down... So I understand not trying to persuade her; if she's already made up her mind, who knows if it would even be possible?

But of course, this class also had us read and analyze other short stories, some of which were distopias. But those are totally different from science fiction!
