Malik Greatly Disapproves. Again.

[It's been a while since Malik's spoken up on the network but this is something drastic to him and it needs addressing.]

It has been recently brought to my attention that the education system of modern times is sorely lacking in a number of regards.

I was told that beyond the basics of reading and mathematics anything else was not important and was not even taught, and this desperately needs to be rectified.

We may be learning magic and other such things from our overlays, but there are areas that are horrifically left by the wayside in this arms race we have entered in to.

I may not know much about history as it is from most of your perspectives but there has to be educators among us or at least those who will be willing to step up and help the children among us not return home uneducated louts who respond to the idea of mathematics or reading with "why should I care?" or "it is too difficult".

[He's not sorry Phillip. This is probably your fault kid.]

Yeah, that's right. She's about your age, isn't she?

[They've only talked maybe two or three times, and those were never enough for her to accurately gauge the other girl's age.]

So long as he doesn't saddle the poor kids with a ton of extra homework, I guess it couldn't hurt. Something to pass the time in between world-hopping.

She's about a year younger. Or at least, she was. She went home when she vanished last time, but I'm not entirely sure how much time she spent there.

I don't think that's very likely. Or at least, I doubt it'll be the kind of homework you're thinking of.

I'm thinking of the kind that makes my wrists hurt just thinking about it.

Honestly, even when it came to my magic training, that was always the worst part. I'd rather be casting the spells than practicing writing them down.
