What Intreats me about this is the use of these words 'special needs'?

It is used to make it seem worse but I dont understand what WERE his special needs. People who have that should not be treated as a different case. They should be treated equally but that should also go the other way as well.

In other words if someone has problems with handwriting then that should be helped but they shouldn't be immune to the same punishments as people who dont have special needs. Again it depends what the needs are but if its something that is unrelated to the punishment then whats the 'well he did have special needs' fuss about?
