 | | Alexander Sutherland Neill ( October 17, 1883 - September 23, 1973) was a Scottish educationalist recognised as one of the leading pioneers in education. |
 | | However, merely 'appeasing children' by 'making sure they do interesting and constructive things' which is an accepted modern educational ethic, whilst it does unquestionably contribute positively to both their childhood happiness and their educational requirements, would not, on its own, satisfy Neill. |
 | | If both the old fully-coercive model and the newer partially-coercive model have failed to satisfy educationalists, Neill would be perplexed as to why his 'minimally coercive' model was at least not the subject of more research into childhood education. |
