Qualities of Teachers

Summerhill Democratics ·

2017/12/31

Qualities of teachers are important: understanding is one of these qualities. This is as true in the local comprehensive as it is at Summerhill. However, when a school has a unique philosophy the teacher must make an extra effort to understand. This is the first of a series on qualities of teachers in democratic education. In it I want to talk about some of the qualities of understanding that good democratic school teachers should have.

Reduced Formal Curriculum Podcast 2 Summerhill...

Summerhill Democratics ·

2017/10/25

In this Podcast Leonard and Jason talk about the bloated curriculum. Jason starts off talking about his experience at school, which contrasts with the freedom that Summerhill students enjoy. In spite of this bad experience he has some doubts about giving little children the absolute freedom to play- what Leonard calls Deep Play. These issues are dealt with more fully in the accompanying PDF and blog posts. Feel free to comment.
