- One of the fundamental principles of creating trust in learning environments is to make sure we're taking children's side. --- The one commandment that every parent and teacher must obey is this: Thou shall be on the child’s side. The obeying of this commandment is what makes Summerhill a successful school. For we are definitely on the child’s side--and the child knows it unconsciously. - Alexander Sutherland Neill in [[Summerhill]]
