The inclusive classrooms create students who are comfortable with differences, skilled at confronting challenging issues, and aware of their interconnectedness. Schools are increasingly acknowledging the heterogeneity of their student populations and the need to respond thoughtfully and responsibly to differences in the classroom. It's understandable that educators often feel overwhelmed by growing demands for inclusion, multi cultural education, multiple intelligence, and differentiated instruction to deal with the growing diversity. School communities must be inclusive of all children, and openly recognize the unique contributions that children who have a disability make to community life. It is essential that inclusive education be supported to maintain and strengthen the personal relationships and social networks of children who have a disability. Each child's support must be individualized and flexible, while remaining relevant to its particular needs at the time. This paper appears to directly contradict the understanding of inclusive education as a concept, which is all about embracing diversity in the classroom.
