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.]

I can move my copy of an encyclopedia and dictionary I picked up in New York there as well, if you do not mind such additions.

[howexciting]

I do not mind at all.

... actually, Malik, that brings up a very important question I have been meaning to ask you. Would you... would you mind being a librarian? You have remarkable attention to detail and a thoroughness that would be quite helpful in making sure no tomes are lost.

[There's a brief silence, mostly because Malik can't actually get emotion across on the network but... he's pleased, and a touch shocked at being asked.]

I- of course, Leonardo. All you had to do was ask, I can start familiarizing myself with the organization right away. It... it will be good having something to do besides sit and wait for the next jaunt when we are in Liminal Space as ourselves.

[howexciting]

That is why I asked. [The mental tone seems to be slightly amused, yet fond.]

... well, you know my organizational methods, Malik.

[Which is to say: none.]

I have at least sorted everything by general subject and then by time period of publication. I will leave the rest up to you, fratello. I will simply have to memorize where everything is once you have it set to your liking.
