For years, I have been highly critical of the concept of learning through sight and sound. Lately, I have been hearing a lot about how the concept has been disproven. While I feel somewhat validated, I disapprove of the kinds of arguments that teachers have been making in regards to the new information.
I have more that I want to say about learning styles than I normally try to fit into a single blog post. For this reason, I have decided to write a series of posts on the subject.
This blog will include explanations of why I always viewed sight and sound as invalid learning styles. From there, I will continue on to disagreements I have with teachers in regards to what we should have learned. Hopefully, by the time I'm done, you will understand why I have become more frustrated even though teachers are starting to accept evidence that backs my views.
Education has taken on contradictory meanings. Some of us reject using the term to refer to our schools. It can be stated that our schools are at war with education. This blog was initially developed for the purpose of sharing some quick (rather than conclusive) pro-education/anti-schooling thoughts. This has been expanded to include a voice from the other side of the war. Admittedly, this voice was picked for its tendency to show the absurdities of the pro-schooling/anti-educational side.
