Inclusive education: Is it for everyone or for each one ? Some (in)convenient paradoxes

Does inclusive education actually set a new paradigm? In a move to mask and cover the experience of ambivalence and discomfort caused by the strange ones, we can observe an attempt to make the differences in students with special educational needs look lighter and fit them into previously established categories, which involve a detailed and refined description, in an endless classifying move. The contemporary appeals to individualism and consumerism are impregnated in the inclusive education discourse, and they are perceived in the exacerbation of specialist teachers' power, as well as in the concern about effectiveness in education and in some excess (of information, techniques and knowledge).
