A Dominie Dismissed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781171901631)

"A Dominie Dismissed" is a compelling autobiographical work by Alexander Sutherland Neill, the pioneering Scottish educator and founder of Summerhill School. This memoir offers a candid and insightful look into Neill's early life and his evolving philosophy on education.

Neill recounts his experiences as a young, conventional teacher before his revolutionary ideas took root. He details his frustrations with traditional schooling methods and his growing belief in the importance of freedom and self-regulation in children's development. This book serves as a window into the formative years that shaped Neill's progressive approach, laying the groundwork for his later work at Summerhill, a school renowned for its unique emphasis on individual liberty and happiness.

"A Dominie Dismissed" is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of education, child psychology, or the life and thought of one of the 20th century's most influential educators.
