The Problem is not solvable at any level since any Solution only spawns
another problem. Perhaps approaching learning styles as variables which,
like any others, must be taken into account in the course of interacting
with other people. The issue is not limited to classroom settings. It is
the same in businesses, neighborhoods, sports teams, and the like.
Being an effective communicator in any setting requires flexibility on any
number of points. Learning style is another of those points. Awareness of
learning styles is another tool. Just as it is rare that only one tool can
build something, so to will learning style awareness fail to build
something if it is the only tool employed.
