Alexander Sutherland Neill: Frases en inglés
“A good teacher does not draw out; he gives out, and what he gives out is love.”
The Problem Teacher (1939), p. 11
Contexto: A good teacher does not draw out; he gives out, and what he gives out is love. And by love I mean approval, or if you like, friendliness, good nature. The good teacher not only understands the child: he approves of the child.
Fuente: Summerhill (1960), p. 12
Contexto: You cannot make children learn music or anything else without to some degree converting them into will-less adults. You fashion them into accepters of the status quo – a good thing for a society that needs obedient sitters at dreary desks, standers in shops, mechanical catchers of the 8:30 suburban train – a society, in short, that is carried on the shabby shoulders of the scared little man – the scared-to-death conformist.
“My own criterion of success is the ability to work joyfully and to live positively.”
Fuente: Summerhill (1960), p. 29
“Hate breeds hate, and love breeds love.”
