What is a disproportionate amount of people are claiming to require a slower pace and visual-only learning style?

They very well may! Unfortunately, since our approach to teaching how to learn is flawed to the core, it results in peoples' ability to learn being compromised from the very beginning, requiring them to build their knowledge base and learning approach on shaky foundations.

The way to correct this is by imbuing students with the confidence and skills required to learn (according to their style of learning) correctly from the very beginning, so that they build on solid foundations instead.

I guess what I’m saying is that the whole learning styles stuff seems to be bunk.
