This article is a great example of how to write hundreds of words to say "this doesn't work".

This is literally what this article is. "X says learning styles doesn't work", "Y says he's concerned that teachers are taught learning styles even though he thinks they don't work", etc.

I was hoping they would at least quote someone explaining the problem simply and offer a potential solution. Instead, the comments here did a better job at that.

I nominate Sally Weale as a useless journalist.

Debunking popular but bad science is a good thing. It is enough to say that science is bad. You do not need to replace it with another theory.
Personal attacks aren't ok on HN. Even if it's a bad article (which it may be), that's both a non sequitur and a nasty swipe. Please don't post like that here.
