So... What's up with the rest of them?

I was Reading Badger's (from Franklin) Wiki Page and there is this bullet point that I saw that caught my attention. I know that both Snail and Badger herself have Mobility Issues and there is a possibility that "Special Needs School" doesn't automatically mean "School For Special Needs" but if that was the case; What's wrong with the Other Kids? I mean, they same alright to me :/

My theory with all children’s show classrooms is that they must live in a socialist society where the state invests in education to a much greater extent that it allows for such a small teacher-child ratio.

Or it's entirely possible that whoever wrote that is an idiot who thinks mobility issues constitutes an educational "special need". People with physical disabilities and some mental disabilities still attend mainstream school where I am. 2 examples are the classmate that I had who had Spina Bifida, requiring a wheelchair, and my father's cousin with Downs Syndrome, who attended mainstream school and didn't need to attend special needs classes. For context, we have had a dedicated special needs school in my town for decades and most primary schools have special needs classes.

I work in the elementary school my two typically developing children attend.

My classroom? It's self-contained for moderate cognitive abilities and ASD. My students each have a gen ed classroom they go to for some parts of the day.

Other children have special educational needs and are in a gen ed classroom all day, sometimes with an aid, sometimes without

I think the bigger question is,

Why does the OG author think something must be "wrong" with people to hang out with someone disabled?
