		<description>An interesting blog which reinforces what many passionate about teaching and learning really already know.  A large number of teachers do not attempt to engage students or discuss with them their preferred learning styles.  

The students always have much to say and mainly DO know their preferred learning styles.  Often what they experience in lessons often bear little resemblance to these. 

Just this week talking to students they were discussing how they often learn more in afternoon clubs and activities at lunchtimes than in lessons, interestingly, sometimes with the same teachers!

There is a comfort zone issue - teachers have to adapt more than students, especially with the frantic pace of technology change which students expect to use both in and and of school as  routine. 

Too often teachers who do not treat students with respect get what they ask for! (THere are, of course exceptions!)</description>
