It has been proposed that teachers should evaluate the learning styles of their students and do their best to adapt the classroom and teaching methods to fit each student's learning style. In my view, this proposal is totally improper for the classroom. The learning styles of the students should be evaluated at the entry process or with older students, within a counseling/ evaluation session. My thoughts on this are based on the fact that the students will have...  [Read more]
