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.]

That'd be helpful. I know for a fact I'll have a use for it later. [And it probably wouldn't hurt alongside the alchemy, really.]

The tricky part's going to be trying to keep anything vaguely organised around infiltrating, and whatever the rest of us are doing any given jaunt. Which isn't to say it's not worth the effort, just that it'll be a big one.

We do, but not much. [And then there's the fact that not everyone bounces back from any given jaunt right away, and therefore a teacher might not be in any shape to teach, or a student to learn. But that's another thing entirely.]

Like I said, that doesn't make it not worth trying. More difficult, but not necessarily impossible.
