MI is not a learning style
By Hershey

I don't think this has anything to do with political correctness. I'm not talking about different learning styles, but through using multiple intelligences (intelligences are not learning styles). I'm talking about bringing these children's reading and other levels up by keeping them all together and presenting lessons in ways that make sense to them and make the most of what strengths they have. In the real world - you pick a career based on your strength - not by what reading group you are in. and you are not grouped in the real world by your ability level. I think stating that children know who is smart and who is not is kind of sad. That distinction was never made in any of my classes. We looked at how kids were smart instead.
