Good point, I didn't think about that. If you can't write well because you are just sloppy and don't care, then I think it's your own fault... but, of course,

Good point, I didn't think about that. If you can't write well because you are just sloppy and don't care, then I think it's your own fault... but, of course, that might not be the case if you have a learning problem (no, that doesn't make you stupid, just a different skillset). I know what was done here is that students with recognised learning difficulties (dyslexia, for example) get extra time if they take a long time to get their answers on paper.. or, on request, someone to read or write for them, which gives them a fair shot in comparison to everyone else.
