    Default Article: Stop propagating the learning styles myth

    I'd post the link directly, but it seems that the article isn't accessible that way. The link can be found in this tweet on twitter:

    (I'd be interested in reading more about the Allinson & Hayes cognitive style indicator it mentions).

    Thank you! I get so tired of all this "oh I'm a visual learner" whatever that's just an excuse for people to be lazy. It does seem like there are some differences between people, like people who score as intuitive types in socionics not tending to be as good with details, or extraverts preferring "active learning", but even that doesn't mean that people's preferred way to learn is the best way for all material, much less that "oh I'm a kinesthetic learner" really means anything (well, from my experience it tends to mean that some kids are forced to sit down in chairs way too much, which is awful, but not anything regarding "learning styles").
