Rumour has it that certain school has decided that it is a good idea to label children's books with the type of learner they are. This means visual, auditory or kinaesthetic will appear on the front of books and when you start talking to a class some will say "we can't learn by listening, we'll just chat amongst ourselves", others will refuse to look at the board and the rest will be demanding that they form a giant human pyramid in order to learn about Egypt.
What this fails to take into account is that we all learn partially in all ways even though we may have preferred learning styles, it also fails to take into account that ultimately you have to spend 2 hours in an exam hall in complete silence showing you understand stuff. Genius, complete genius.
