Language is one intersting indicator of a persons mental agililty. If you have ever tried to learn a new language excluding one that you were raised in then you can chime in. Math and Science are true indicators of a persons mental acumen but that all are not given the same expertise. I had a lot of bad teachers in my educational experience as you can also relate to and as you can see with what they pay teachers and the upheavals that are finally making the forefront.

Teaching Children or anyone for that matter to study on Test Taking is a total waste of education, money, and is a totally false indicator of a persons ability to succeed. Been proven for years that these exams are biased, have trick misleading question that are only privy to select individuals and not the whole educational spectrum. Money, Past Affilitations and Alumni make up the main stage for admissions.

Thank you for sharing the above article which I found interesting. Clearly, the results speak for themselves with regard to learning styles. I wonder to what extent the standards have been lowered by pandering to those who are "visual learners" and those who are "auditory learners" and those who are "kinesthetic learners"?

They taught me this in school when I was studying to be a teacher. I just got my teaching degree in 2015. Now that I'm working in a school, I'm glad to notice that no one really mentions learning styles. I've been here three years, and I haven't heard it mentioned once.

I remember being skeptical about "learning styles" and "multiple intelligences" when the professors brought it up. I immediately looked for the hard science about it, and it was a couple of years later that the ideas were pretty well debunked. But that news didn't reach many folk, I'm sure. I still hear adults say that they're "tactile learners" or some such BS.

I'm sorry. How can you possibly really learn something without studying it?
