A while ago, somone mentioned something about something about multiple
intelligences, and Loren McGrail replied initially, but no real
conversation ensued.  

Loren, what are your thoughts about multiple intelligence theory?  It
strikes me that it would be easy for one ethnic group to be labeled as one
kind of intelligence, and that stereotypes might be reinforced this way.
Also, I would think that even though the teacher says that all of these
intelligences are valuable, learners know that they're not thought of
equally in the worlds outside the classroom. Actually, this subject might
be something that could be problematized and turned into a code.

I'd like to invite Loren, the initial writer whose name I don't recall
(sorry) and anyone else who's interested to respond.  

Thanks,

Char Ullman
