I want to help Physics education. What should I do?
Discovery approaches are generally more taxing in terms of cognitive load due the student needing to focus on all aspects of the task rather than just those relevant to the lesson. https://scispace.com/pdf/a-comparison-of-cognitive-load-associated-with-discovery-506tao6xh7.pdf - this article...- Muu9

I disagree - there's been interesting new developments in the field of psychology, namely Cognitive Load Theory, that support direct instruction.- Muu9

I don't have an issue with chalk and talk - after all, pretty much every YouTube video is limited to that format, and there are some excellent YouTube videos out there (3blue1brown, Frederic Schuller's lectures). https://theamericanscholar.org/why-so-many-kids-struggle-to-learn/- Muu9

Other Complex analysis or calculus?
A lot of complex analysis books are super rigorous and meant for mathematicians rather than physics students. A good applied text is the one by Zill - the first chapter starts with complex numbers so you can do it before calculus, but it will eventually start using calculus and assume you...- Muu9

Foundations A rigorous approach to learn Mathematics
Spivak is closer to an analysis text than a calculus text. Thomas and Stewart are better options for a first course, maybe Apostol if you're super ambitious.- Muu9

Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?
Apparently, "her" is correct if you use "than" as a preposition: https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/i%E2%80%99m-older-than-her-she.3935485/- Muu9

IMO, basic grammar (the kind necessary to avoid grammatical errors) should be included or at least required in any college-level writing course.- Muu9

Courses What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?
IIRC you need to be 18 or older to join toastmasters. OP could contact them and ask if they have any upcoming events or opportunities for under-18s: https://d71toastmasters.org/member/kit-barritt- Muu9
