Well, I have heard of him. And I think VERY LITTLE of his stupid educational theories. “Multiple intelligences — some are MATH intelligent, some are WRITING intelligent, some are xxxx.” OK, EVERYBODY is intelligent in their own special way.

Dumb it down, Howard. And keep your yap closed while you’re at it.

It is fun to note when some liberal academician earns tenure and
a life-time income by simply re-dressing a bit of Biblical wisdom.

In this case, the Old Testament instruction about "raising up
a child in the way he should go"...
which, if I understand some of the better theologians, implies
that everyone has a certain constellation of skills and deficit.
And parents should, while raising the child, recognize the talents
and help the child grow and make the most of them.

As I often say about the current liberal epiphanies that result in
just a restatement of text from The Bible...
nice of these professors to catch up with what was known
about 2000-3500 years ago.
