Beyond the Classroom
by KP
In school, we learn about the surface, such as the dates, the formulas, the definitions, the processes, and so on, but we don’t often indulge in the forgotten lores of the ‘hows’ and the ‘whys’. If you have deeper questions like where did numbers come from in the first place? How did science evolve from believing humans were featherless bipeds to figuring out the secrets to quantum physics? What is so special about Mary Shelly's Frankenstein? You've come to the right place. I help answer questions students actually ask, providing answers that never make it to our school’s lesson plans.
