Inclusivity in education

I confess... I sometimes wish, wish really hard that people were blind to the differences in others. Wish there was equality. Wish where everyone is brilliant at what they do, I was not different and noticeable. My wish is very socialist in extremities while the world is capitalist, god bless the United States. Ha-ha, but it makes sense.

Most people are quite nice. Nice till their final ounce of sympathy drains out. They offer to listen, nod with understanding, but they have their reservations. They stare, they believe I do not realise, but they forget I have other functioning senses that make me feel like a zoo exhibit. I understand morbid curiosity. I experience it too. But doing the same thing over and over again, in my case understanding, does get boring.

I sometimes question my socialist wishful thinking. How would the world be without hues? Transparent? Without days and nights? I would miss black and gray and white and purple? People would not realise how good I look in red? Obvious much, my conscience growls at me, that is why it is wishful thinking. The world would be boring. Difference and competition puts us on different levels, and we all want to put ourselves on pedestals.

I enjoy being around mixed company. I listen. I observe. I judge. I speak. I learn. And at what place can this possibly happen? At school of course. A place where we meet and grow with people of the same age group. A place where we compete and learn. A place where we commit and regret our own mistakes. If only the chance was given.

Similarity is what the world looks for. I beg to differ. In a world where everyone is good at what they do, how can I be any worse? I can only be different. The other day, was a good day. I achieved something. I only needed the world to appreciate. But it apparently has its own chores to do.

I realise I am digressing. I might also be blabbering. Never the less, I assert, the society has no chance of success if it has brain power wasted. I am visually impaired, but I have the insight that is greater than anyone with eye sight who thinks I do not deserve inclusive education.
