Joy is rationed for disabled kids in school
End Collective Punishment in Schools
Examines how British Columbia schools strip disabled students of field trips, extracurriculars, and access to public space, then reframe that exclusion as a reasonable consequence rather than the punishment it is. It opens with a comparison that exposes the logic: no school would withhold a child's glasses or insulin to correct calling out in class, yet schools routinely withhold joy, movement, and adventure from disabled children whose behaviour reflects unmet needs.
