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 isn't a matter of indecision. In Japan, I'll need to take tests to qualify for college. I'm a year of preparation away from that, and we can't get the specific study materials in Liminal Space. In the meantime, I've almost finished school at home, I did well in my classes, and there are things to learn here that I wouldn't be able to learn there. So, while we're Travelers, it makes sense to focus on things only Travelers can learn. It's not a matter of thinking I know everything at all.

So to you it is more important to learn how to wield magic and whatever other unnatural things get shoved in our heads than to keep up on mathematics?

Calculus hasn't been vital to a Jaunt so far.
