Neill’s success was recognised. He was awarded honorary degrees from the universities of Newcastle, Exeter and Essex. He was also recognised amongst the top 12 men and women who have influenced British schooling during the last millennium by the Times Educational Supplement.

Summerhill was founded in 1921 by A.S. Neill, a Scottish, writer and rebel. He created a community in which children could be free from adult authority. The school and his ideas became world famous through Neill's writings and lectures, his books are still published worldwide.

Question: when confronted by a labour MP saying he had a death threat last night, Dominic Cummings replied: “Get Brexit done” Does this mean that the only way to stop being bullied is to be compliant?

Brexit or no bloody Brexit, bullying is high on my agenda and this sort of statement from a government advisor is alarming to say the least. No wonder bullying is one of the great scourges of our time among both children and adults

One would hope that those in power would at least uphold right, and right means that it is NEVER alright to bully or intimidate anybody!
