5 . Summerhill School
If you travel 140 kilometers north of London to England’s east coast, you’ll find an unusual boarding school called Summerhill in a large 19th century building with about a hundred students aged between 5 and 18. The school has its own library, theater, sports and playing fields. What makes the school different, however, is the way it treats its students. It is a free school. Students have the right to choose when to attend class, to vote on school rules and to decide whether to take classes and exams. If they prefer going for a walk in the countryside instead of having maths, that’s OK: they will not receive any punishments.
This may sound like a new and revolutionary idea for a school, but, actually, Summerhill first opened in the 1920s. Back in the 1920s, society believed that children were immature and irresponsible and that the only way to educate them was to be strict. Children had to wear school uniforms, be silent and never ask questions. Schools regularly used physical punishment when students broke the school rules. There were too many rules, so it was difficult not to get into trouble. This way of teaching was contrary to the idea of the founder of the school, A.S. Neil. He wanted a school where children were free to make decisions and give opinions. His philosophy was that if you are able to be responsible for yourself, you’ll make decisions that are good for others. He believed all crimes and wars only happened because people were unhappy, so he created a school where children were free to be happy.
Nowadays, the rules in state secondary schools are less strict than they were a hundred years ago, but the pressure on students to work hard and to do well is greater than ever before. But this is not the case at Summerhill, where students are free to develop their imagination and personalities.
Interestingly, however, some things are soon going to change at Summerhill, Neil’s daughter, Ms. Readhead, took over his place after he died in 1973. She said she would introduce more discipline because the children were spoiled and overprotected by parents. In her opinion, children need to learn how to organize their lives themselves instead of depending on their parents.
