My problem with the "different learning styles" theory is that it is quite disempowering. There aren't many "aural" ways to understand quantum mechanics. I am concerned that "accomodating different learning styles" is really just about dog tricks to meet classroom objectives, rather than giving kids the tools they need to enable them to exceed expectations (most won't, but some will).
While I never went as far as QM I learned a lot of math by listening to a teacher walk though the problem. I have had plenty of classes where I could not read the teachers handing writing and I still got A's on the final.
PS: As a rule I never studied which was fine to get the equivalent of a major in CS, and a minor in math. (I was like 3 classes from a double major, but I took a semester off and wanted to graduate in 4 years.)
