yes well done. As an educator, I really respect his theory and hope to work in or start my own education center based on his theory. The models I've seen in the US are outstanding and actually address the REAL education of children based on their strengths and interests. Education is ever changing, and it is our job to find the most effective way to educate our youth, and that may not be the "traditional" way that is clearly not working.

I am a very visual learner, my mom had to leave school when she was 11 years old and yet she could read and write poetry excellent. Gardner made some valid points that I agree with and have witness some of these intelligences but, Mr Gardener speaks of a "political commitment must be made" but they all make such a commitment during election time the key is how to hold them all accountable?

Listening learners do better at listening to someone describe a picture of africa? You have got to be kidding. OMG, idiocy is everywhere!

Everything I say is fact: Study fallacies. After you do this, listen to what he says again. You will be amazed at how illogical he is. Good luck to you.

How come? On what grounds are you stating this fact? I see a Harvard PHD professor who is offering an explanation on education, I am a mom who is interested in the topic and by Dr. Gardner´s credentials alone he gets my vote on confidence on these matters, instead of some random youtube user comment discrediting and affirming falseness. So please, if you have something factual to say with some good evidence backing it up, I really wish to hear it or read it. Thanks.

The number of false claims this man makes in this video is astounding.
