mrsmac: I didn't mean any offense AT ALL. I thought I wrote on there that it isn't true for all schools and all teachers, and yes, I do understand that a lot of schools are embracing learning styles theory and working very hard to include all students and not label. I don't mean to "teacher bash" either, I am talking about schools, and school policy, in general, not teachers. Most teachers are aware of this but have their hands tied by policies that value traditional education.

I should have been more specific... when I'm writing the assignments the markers having an understanding that when we say 'school' we mean the policies, and when we say 'teachers' we mean the teachers.

I DO still think that traditional schooling has a long way to go though, and a lot of schools still label instead of recognising learning styles. That is my experience anyway. I have been to a lot of schools, but perhaps I have't been to the right ones.

So I hope you can see what I mean, and that I didn't mean to "teacher bash".
