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.]

[It's all right, Phillip, he knows how that is. He's much more used to dealing with teenagers than middle school kids, honestly!]

I'll see if I can't remember some of it well enough to recreate a video sometime... a lot of it's silly, but I know they have a lot of history and cultural education in it. I just can't remember if there's any about math, off the top of my head.

...I miss Google, sometimes. [that would make this easier.]

Thirded. Maybe we can wind up in a world soon with modern amenities, and we can go on a binge of searching and downloading things.
