«Libres enfants de Summerhill» is the pedagogical essay by Alexander S. Neill, published by Editions La Découverte in paperback (463 pages, in French).
Psychoanalyst Alexander S. Neill presents Summerhill, a self-governing school founded in 1921, and explains his application of psychoanalysis to education. Neill criticizes the traditional school, which instructs without educating, parents obsessed with success, and a system that shapes individuals. The work spurred pedagogical debates and children's rights.
This 2004 French edition includes a preface by Maud Mannoni and a translation by Micheline Laguilhomie. The original title, Summerhill: A Radical Approach to Childrearing, was published in 1960.
Of interest to educators, pedagogues, and people interested in alternative school experiences and the educational thought of Alexander S. Neill.
