When speaking to parents, I encourage them to take their child(ren) to a children's museum and watch carefully what the child does, how she<br>she does it, what he<br>she returns to, where there is definite growth. Teachers could do the same or could set up 'play areas' which provide 'nutrition' for different intelligences. . . and watch carefully what happens and what does not happen with each child.
The only way you can make a deal is if you're ready to blow it.
