Center controller was a jerk and uninformed. You must understand that Center controllers do not (in most cases) have a lot of knowledge/experience with approach clearances, rules regarding separation services to VFR a/c on practice approaches, etc.. If at all possible go to an airport that has a tower/approaches/TRACON available. If unable I would maybe suggest you doing the approaches on your own and monitor the enter freq.
