Introduction

Aschool is aneducational institution (and, in the case of in-person learning, thebuilding) designed to providelearning environments for theteaching ofstudents, usually under the direction ofteachers. Most countries have systems of formaleducation, which is sometimescompulsory. In these systems, students progress through a series of schools that can be built and operated by both government and private organizations. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in theRegional terms section below) but generally includeprimary school for young children andsecondary school for teenagers who have completedprimary education. An institution wherehigher education is taught is commonly called auniversity college oruniversity.

In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary (elementary in the U.S.) and secondary (middle school in the U.S.) education.Kindergarten orpreschool provide some schooling to very young children (typically ages 3–5). University,vocational school,college, orseminary may be available after secondary school. A school may be dedicated to one particular field, such as a school of economics or dance.Alternative schools may provide nontraditional curriculum and methods. (Full article...)

Summerhill: A Radical Approach to Child Rearing is a book about the English boarding schoolSummerhill School by its headmasterA. S. Neill. It is known for introducing his ideas to the American public. It was published in America on November 7, 1960, by the Hart Publishing Company and later revised asSummerhill School: A New View of Childhood in 1993. Its contents are a repackaged collection from four of Neill's previous works. The foreword was written by psychoanalystErich Fromm, who distinguished between authoritarian coercion and Summerhill.

The seven chapters of the book cover the origins and implementation of the school, and other topics in childrearing. Summerhill, founded in the 1920s, is run as a children's democracy under Neill's educational philosophy of self-regulation, where kids choose whether to go to lessons and how they want to live freely without imposing on others. The school makes its rules at a weekly schoolwide meeting where students and teachers each have one vote alike. Neill discarded other pedagogies for one based on the innate goodness of the child.

Wilkinson in 1924

Ellen Cicely Wilkinson (8 October 1891 – 6 February 1947) was a BritishLabour Party politician who served asMinister of Education from July 1945 until her death. Earlier in her career, as theMember of Parliament (MP) forJarrow, she became a national figure when she played a prominent role in the 1936Jarrow March of the town's unemployed to London to petition for the right to work. Although unsuccessful at that time, the March provided an iconic image for the 1930s and helped to form post-Second World War attitudes to unemployment and social justice.

Wilkinson was born into a poor though ambitiousManchester family and she embracedsocialism at an early age. After graduating from theUniversity of Manchester, she worked for awomen's suffrage organisation and later as a trade union officer. Inspired by theRussian Revolution of 1917, Wilkinson joined theBritish Communist Party, and preachedrevolutionary socialism while seeking constitutional routes to political power through the Labour Party. She was elected Labour MP forMiddlesbrough East in 1924, and supported the1926 General Strike. In the 1929–31 Labour government, she served asParliamentary Private Secretary to the juniorHealth Minister. She made a connection with a young female member and activistJennie Lee. Following her defeat at Middlesbrough in 1931, Wilkinson became a prolific journalist and writer, before returning to parliament as Jarrow's MP in 1935. She was a strong advocate for theRepublican government in theSpanish Civil War, and made several visits to the battle zones. Wilkinson was also part of theIndia League delegation sent to India to document aspects of colonial rule. These findings were later published inThe Condition of India. (Full article...)
