Thanks for sharing your thoughts and expertise! I like your term "conductor" as it relates to using appropriate learning styles. I can just see the spark happen when you can relate to your students!

I feel that through exploring learning styles, one grows attentive of how each person's brain learns, which shouldn’t lead to controversy. Information regarding style can help faculty become more responsive to the disparities students bring to the classroom. It can also work as a conductor in planning learning experiences that complement or mismatch students' styles, depending on the teacher's objective. Complementing is predominantly fitting in working with unsuccessfully prepared students and with new college students, as the most attrition happens in those situations. Some studies demonstrate that classifying a student's style and then offering instruction reliable with that style add to more efficient learning. Hi Jason, I really like and agree with your post.

The current system works in their mind, so why try to fix it? However, I was confused about the racism issue that they brought up. I've seen people of differing learning styles from all races, creeds, religions, nationalities, and both genders. Perhaps if more research was done there may be some statistical evidence that would support that, but in my experience, that argument just doesn't hold much water. I can only hope that our education system undergoes a radical change over the coming years as the current system is already showing it's many flaws.
