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.]

Well, I dunno if I'll have time for much of my last two years of high school when I get home, but I guess it couldn't hurt to pick up more basic stuff here...
Hey, do any of the people volunteering as teachers know how to Interface?

...I wonder if Interface would work for this kind of thing, or if you'd just have a head full of info and no clear idea of what to do with it. If it worked, though, it'd be a good way to get around the 'we're split up and half not ourselves more often than not' problem.
