As many aspects of the school together are governed democratically, where each person has a voice Each student can move freely in school as long as it does not restrict the freedom of others or for violation of the Community adopted rules. Democratic schools allow their students thus a self-paced learning. All Democratic schools are based on a fundamental respect for children. The beginnings of Summerhill are in the “New German School” in the garden Hellerau near Dresden. The “New German School” united many currents of the German reform pedagogy. Neill was due to the favorable exchange rate between the pound and the English marks in a position to be one of the main sponsors of this school and divided it an “international school”. This financial independence also allowed him to implement his own ideas, without any pressure from other reform-teachers on him. The school was divided into several departments, Neill headed the foreign group.
