Do Learning Styles Actually Exist? Teaching Students with Different Personalities

How should parents and teachers respond when children learn differently? Should the curriculum change for each child, or should the child be formed by the curriculum?

 

In this episode of _Classical Et Cetera_ we discuss teaching children with different personalities and temperaments, and why the modern idea of “learning styles” may not be the right place to begin. We explore the difference between temperament and aptitude, how to maintain consistent academic standards, and practical ways parents can help very different children succeed within the same curriculum. Along the way, we offer encouragement for homeschool families navigating daily challenges while keeping the long view of education in mind.
