Alexander Neill’s account of the school he founded in the early 1920s – Summerhill School. His was an unconventional, liberal approach to education, providing a setting where children were not compelled to attend classes and made their own rules through democratic means. The title is tongue-in-cheek – a reference to the criticism the school received from more traditional educators. Summerhill School remains an independent day and boarding school, and continues to follow Neill’s founding principle of ‘Freedom not Licence”.
