Google Pledges Funds For Special Education
12/1/2015
Google is sharing the wealth this holiday season, with a plan to donate millions of dollars to benefit students in special education at schools across the country.
The Internet giant said that it will donate $1 for every purchase made using Android Pay through Dec. 31. Google indicated it will give up to a million dollars total.
Separately, Google is also asking users to chip in, with a special link added to the company’s search homepage on Dec. 1 — known as Giving Tuesday — prompting visitors to “support special needs teachers.” The company said its charitable arm, Google.org, will match donations from users up to $1 million.

... even worse pedagogy.
Contemplate the sentence that follows:
>>Since each student learns differently, let’s support special needs classrooms across the country to make education more inclusive for every kid,” >>>
It encompasses two basic ideas that are fundamentally in conflict.
1. Every child learns differently.
2. We need to make education more "inclusive" ( what they mean is "generic"
for every kid.
The truth is: one can do one or the other.... but one can't do BOTH. At least not coherently and not at the same time.
