My experience as a student is that there are methods of learning that work well for me but not all my classmates and vice versa. I feel like the issue is that these small preferences aren't generalizable into these abstract forms like "auditory learner." I also feel like teachers catering to "styles" of learning cripples students in the long run. Instead students need to be encouraged to figure out how to manipulate the material into content that's understandable to them. For example, I hate PowerPoints. I don't get anything out of PowerPoints. But at my school, 99% of lectures are given in ppt, so I have to figure out how to distill that information into something useful. And that's MY struggle. No one is going to help you when you get to college or graduate level education. It would be far more helpful to teach students how to take charge of their own education.
