Quotes from the book:
"Summerhill started out as an experimental school, now it's more of an exponential school, and it shows that freedom does its job." When my first wife and I created this school, we had one leading idea: the school should be suitable for children, and not vice versa - children School ".
"Therefore Summerhill is a place where those who have the ability and desire to engage in science will become scientists, and those who want to revenge the streets will be their revenge." We, however, have not yet raised a single janitor. "I write this without any snobbery, because it's more pleasant for me A school that produces happy wipers than the one from which neurotic scientists come. "
"Punishment is always an act of hatred: in the act of punishment, the teacher or parent hates the child - and the child understands this."
"The school does not pay attention to the most important thing: everything in the world Greek languages, mathematics and history will not help make a family more loving, children - free from repression, and parents - free from neuroses."
"I know that the parents who are most concerned about whether Billy has learned to read and write are those who feel losers because of a lack of education." Parents who believe in strict discipline are usually those who do not accept themselves A written reveler with a rich supply of scabrous anecdotes will severely condemn his son for talking about excrement.The mother liar will spank the child for lying, I saw a man flogging his son for smoking, holding a pipe in his mouth. I heard a man beat his twelve-year-old son with With the words: "I will wean them I swear, you little bastard. "I pointed out to him that, and he replied without batting an eye." When I swear it - the other, and he is still a child. ""
"Children usually attend classes that are appropriate to their age and sometimes to interests.We do not have new methods of teaching because we do not consider teaching itself very important.There are special ways of teaching the division in the school or not - Does not matter, because the very skill of dividing into a column is important only for those who want to learn it, and a child who really wants to learn how to divide into a column will certainly be able to do this regardless of the way in which it is taught.
The children who entered Summerhill at preschool age go to school from the very beginning of their stay with us, but children who have studied before in other schools declare that they will never again go to any idiotic lesson in their lives. This lasts for several months. They play, ride bicycles, interfere with others, but avoid lessons. The time of recovery from this disease is proportional to the hatred that they generated from their previous school. Record set one girl, who came from the monastery school. She has been spoiling for three years. In general, the average period of recovery from disgust for lessons is three months. "
