Photo essay about the free school movement and its continuing existence. Imagine a school based on not fear, force and conformity, but rather freedom and democracy.
Read the book "Summerhill School: A new view of childhood by ASNeill. It is fantastic. I agree but i disagree with few. It will be nice to combine it with the positive side of state school and apply some of the freedom from summerhill then we will have a perfect school lol
Yep. Everything I've looked up about this, read about it, seen about it on YouTube, indicates that it's as fine a school, results-wise, as a kid is likely to attend.
When it got to the part where the pupils took over the courtroom to decide whether or not to accept the settlement, I busted out laughing. I had to stand up and walk around. The cat looked at me funny.
I guess my next stop is Wikipedia, but Amazon may well be after that. I think this idea is beautiful, and I only wonder what results it produces academically. I'm guessing as good as or better than average public schools, but I'll have to look stuff up to know for sure.

@SailorBarsoom Summerhill has achieved above average in GCSE's and most of the children who have gone there have gone to University
