"...The Summerhill School was founded in 1921 and is still ahead of its time today. Neil banned any physical punishment of children from the day the school opened. All children always had the freedom to choose whether to attend classes or go outside and play, while also having the right to vote in regular meetings where many school rules were decided. Summerhill is the oldest children's democracy in the world..."

"...Many wise parents will be amazed at the extent of coercion and violence exerted on children during their education without even realizing it. This book gives a new meaning to the concepts of love, acceptance, and freedom. Neil holds deep respect for life and freedom, and firmly refuses to use any form of violence. Children educated with this method develop the qualities that have always been considered goals in the humanitarian tradition of the West: logic, love, integrity, and courage..."
