3) Visual/Spatial learners and wiggly kids
If we set aside learning styles, how do we explain, categorize, label, relate to, and support visual-spatial learners?
If we set aside learning styles, how do we explain, categorize, label, relate to, and support wiggly (kinesthetic) kids?
Do we pathologize them?
The point of all the research is that there is no such thing as a "visual-spatial" or "kinesthetic" learner (although wiggliness is a normal part of being a kid). People have a right to their preferences, but that doesn't mean that others (schools in this case) should pander to their beliefs, especially if their beliefs have been proven to be false.
