Learning Styles!

In my opinion, theories are much like stereotypes. There may not be an endless amount of supporting evidence, but there is a reason that people believe these things. Theories are accepted because they make sense and can not  be dis-proven. If these theories really have no meaning, they would not be so widely spread and taught in schools. Students believe that these different learning styles exists because they do. I believe these learning styles exists because I am an auditory learner. I can sit and stare at notes for hours and have no idea what I was staring at. However, if I have a study partner who is quizzing me out loud and listening to my responses, I retain the information and am able to recall it on a test much easier. I believe in learning styles, and when I have my own classroom I want to try and teach information using several different types of examples so I can reach all of my students.
