Even if it's a thing, the idea that a teacher should take on the role of psychologists and figure out a child's optimal learning style should be preposterous to anyone with common sense.

It might work in combination with a software suite, with e-readers getting cheaper and more capable, and easily lasting through a school day, it's an option.

Ah yes, we can sort kids into humanities and sciences, by age, by ability, into gymnasiums and normal schools, but sorting visual learners from other ones is too hard.

We can only seperate kids into groups when it serves adninistrative or industrial beenfits, when its for the benefit of the child, forget it.

I mean how can you expect a ridiculously expensive system where children spend the majority of their waking hours to actually ask a child if it suits them?

I agree burdening the teachers with individualized instruction is too much. But students learning about themselves seems like a good thing.

My only point is that I believe the situation has not been studied well, and it should be.
