Howard Gardner published, "Frames of mind : the theory of multiple intelligences," in 1983. Are you saying that twenty years is not enough time to test this theory in schools? I think that a reasonable study could be done in three or four years. So where are the studies? If this approach is as effective as you say it should be easy to show positive effects on student achievement with well designed research.
