You are justified to be ticked off. When you take a class, there are certain expectations. One of the expectations usually is that if you don't know something you ask......and it should be answered in a courteous professional manner.

Your instructors sound like a bunch of boneheads and should not be teaching.
Are they licensed to teach?

Wow, it sounds like all those instructors are a complete joke. I feel sorry for those who actually go to improve their skills. They could at least have treated you better than how they did. I think thats totally uncalled for.

So, I'm going to see if we can get this fine tuned a bit. Right now I clutchless shift, which I don't want to use long term for various reasons.
have you looked if there's a way to rig a quickshifter on your bike?

God... I wish I had half of the determination you've got bottled up inside. Keep up the good work...


Edit:

PS: I did notice that in the pictures of your bike, one item that might help you alot isn't there... A throttle rocker would free up your fingers for the clutch when you're shifting gears. You could just use the palm of your hand to roll the throttle.
