Puncturing the myth of those ubiquitous Learning Styles:
 
The concept of different “learning styles” is one of the greatest neuroscience myths
 
“Perhaps the most popular and influential myth is that a student learns most effectively when they are taught in their preferred learning style,”
...........
“Learning Styles do not work, yet the current research literature is full of papers which advocate their use. This undermines education as a research field and likely has a negative impact on students,”

Work like you don't need money
Love like you've never been hurt

"Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic

of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women

deal critically and creatively with reality  and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world."

Paulo Freire (Pedagogy of the Oppressed)
