I somewhat agree with the thrust of the article (IE we are not letting people learn well), but unfortunately, the "different kinds of learning styles" thing that it relies heavily on has been debunked many times.
There is simply no evidence for it, and study after study shows that trying to match method to perceived learning style does not improve performance.
It is one of those things that seems like it should be true, and therefore people like it, but there is no evidence that it is in fact, true, and plenty against, for well over a decade at this point.
