On the Side of the Child: Summerhill Revisited - Between Teacher & Text
William Ayers
Here, Bill Ayers speaks as a parent and educator who has spent years in the classroom experimenting with A. S. Neill's progressive approach. While he admits to being a fan of Neill's, he also admits that Neill's techniques "seemed more than a little loony" when they first appeared.
