A. S. Neill began his experiment in raising happy children almost a hundred years ago, creating the legendary school where the main focus wasn’t teaching, but the development of the child’s personality. In this book, A. Neill presents priceless ideas that became the foundation of an entire philosophy of “education through freedom.” Neill opens our eyes. He knows for sure that children are originally kind creatures. And he believes that if you let a child be themselves, they will gradually outgrow their problems and become a person—not only free, but also happy.
