Hello Professor. I'm not sure if you're aware of my comments but please forgive my approach. It's not meant to upset you. I do have a problem with interacting appropriately and I do acknowledge that problem. I just want to know if you could give me an example of a better way for teachers to apply themselves in teaching when a teacher has students who learn more visually compared to auditory and visa versa. You say that the learning theory is a myth and I'm interested in the subject. Thank you.

I've read your most recent book and I think it's excellent. Comprehensive, scientific, meaty, prescriptive, well written and presented. I use it in my teaching. Thank you.

Awesome, informative videos. I'd like to see your take on teaching foreign languages in elementary schools.

Hey, I'm a psych student and I just want to say your videos are really interesting. I think it's marvelous that you are putting this information on YouTube. I just watched your Learning Styles video and reposted it on my blog so others can watch it. Please keep up the good work.

Thanks for providing your research results in a format that's accessible by--and popular with--the audience who needs it the most: teachers.

I can go along with that. students need to be aware of their own styles rather than the teacher, who cannot easily aways account for 35 (number in class) individual learning styles for the same content, all the time.
