Summerhill and Sudbury both have a long history of turning children -- including in many (but not all) cases "problem" children -- into emotionally healthy and productive adults -- exactly the kind of people we would all want as neighbors.
Yet most "educators", including those in private schools, wouldn't DREAM of giving such freedom to children. It's hardly surprising that this world is as unfree and emotionally twisted as it is.
Summerhill School in England (founded in 1921), which Sudbury was modeled after (except that Sudbury is not a boarding school).
Looks cool, thanks for sharing!
