		In particular, the short page on Summerhill and freedom (at an earlier version of their website) is worth visiting for those who have not encountered the School before.
		LONDON, W. This School is famous throughout the world as one in which educational experiment is conducted on revolutionary lines and in which the published theories of its Head Master, widely known and discussed, are put into practice.
		The task of inspecting it proved to be exacting and interesting, exacting because of the wide difference in practice between this School and others with which the inspectors were familiar, and interesting because of the opportunity offered of trying to assess, and not merely to observe, the value of the education given.

	Self Managed Learning - REPORT OF AN INQUIRY INTO SUMMERHILL SCHOOL, LEISTON, SUFFOLK
		Summerhill does not aim to produce specific types of young people, with specific, assessed skills or knowledge, but aims to provide an environment in which children can define who they are and what they want to be.
		This notion of school being a kind of family community is clearly very strong and the members of the school community, as well as parents, believe that just as in a family home one would not have segregated toilets, neither should they.
		The school’s practice of voluntary attendance at lessons, together with the fact that pupils choosing not to attend lessons are not then engaged in supervised study, leads to arbitrary narrowing of the curriculum actually studied, inhibiting continuity and pupils’ progress, and lowering expectations of their academic achievement.

		The school places great importance on children being able to spend time at play, which is held to be as important as intellectual learning, the motivation for which comes from the child when the child is ready for it.
		The most serious difficulty for the school is that it does not agree that identified weaknesses in its provision are weaknesses: such judgements are seen as external impositions at odds with the school's beliefs and values.
		The school library is inconveniently located at one end of a classroom; it is poorly resourced and pupils rarely use it especially as library books have been dispersed to the appropriate specialist teaching areas.

	Roland Anderson: Summerhill - education for democracies
		A long time ago, the view of the school used to be that children should be taken away from the grasp of their parents as soon as possible, so you used to have little boarders at the age of five.
		And the constitution of the school, insofar as there is a constitution, says simply this: that if there is a meeting of the entire school, that is all the staff and all the pupils, then a majority decision of that meeting is the decision that's going to be made.
		When the school realised that this was going on, they said — and none of this was the staff doing all this, it was all the kids — "we have got to sort this out", and they did.

		"Summerhill" is a fantastic book built upon the philosophy that there is no such thing as a bad boy or girl, only a good kid thats been repressed by well meaning adults.
		Neill's Summerhill was not exactly what he portrayed it to be; some students flourished there, and many did not.
		Summerhill was the right environment for some of Neill's students, but it was by no means the right environment for all of them.

		The current work on democratic schools (see James Beane and Micheal Apple's work) and critical pedagogy (see Ira Shor's "When Students have power") are movements that take some of the the ideas and momentum of Summerhill's time and move them forward with new knowledge about learning.
		It is rare to find a school like Summerhill that respects a young person's childhood and innocence, that allows the child to grow and develop at his or her own pace.
		I highly recommend Summerhill as an uplifting and enlightened treatise on children by an educator with experience and humanity that is largely unsurpassed by an educator.
