Summerhill is notable for the fact that it does not require any of
its pupils to attend lessons. Furthermore, the school is run by a
council of pupils, teachers and houseparents where questions of
discipline are decided democratically. What, one may ask, is the
likely outcome of sending a child to such a school? In After
Summerhill, Hussein Lucas investigates these and other questions in
a series of extended interviews with people who were educated at
Summerhill throughout its history. The former pupils who emerged
from this radical experiment talk about how they coped after they
left the idyllic environment of Summerhill and went on to face the
harsh realities of the world at large, and how their experience of
the school affected their lives subsequently. After Summerhill is
also in part an oral history of the school told by those who were
there: a vivid and illuminating picture of what it was like to be a
member of this remarkable educational community.
