Unfortunately, the data this piece claims proves it just doesn't work is not cited, at least not that I can find. So I am unable to examine that data or comment on it. I have seen lots of flawed studies, and even participated in them. For that reason, making a sweeping statement about what "the data" proves or disproves carries zero weight with me. Show me your data so I can decide for myself if it actually supports the conclusions you have drawn. Again: Even if the conclusions that it doesn't work in public school are correct, that doesn't necessarily say anything about how useful it is to homeschoolers.

Even if this unspecified data debunks certain models for differentiating learning styles, that certainly does not imply that no such differences exist, just that the correct model has not yet been identified, or at least not widely accepted.

Personal observation of myself and those who were educated along side me prevents me from even considering the possibility that everyone learns in the same way. That there are differences is blatantly obvious, though I can't claim to completely and precisely understand the nature of those differences.

However, I do strongly suspect that catering to certain common learning styles would severely disrupt the status quo in today's school system, and that research which recognizes those styles is not received with enthusiasm.
