0:01:14.863,0:01:16.363
I don't know.

0:01:17.013,0:01:19.693
We tried pushing her your way.

0:01:19.693,0:01:21.293
And what happened.

0:01:21.293,0:01:23.073
This place is an experiment.

0:01:23.073,0:01:25.363
This school opened in 1921.

0:01:25.363,0:01:28.173
Alright then, it's a big experiment...

0:01:28.173,0:01:29.693
... with my daughter.

0:01:29.693,0:01:31.043
Our daughter.

0:01:31.043,0:01:33.413
Our daughter had a[br]bit of a breakdown.

0:01:33.413,0:01:35.108
Shhh... She'll hear you.

0:01:35.108,0:01:37.308
She knows she was ill.

0:01:37.308,0:01:40.593
It seems she knows she failed to[br]get into the school of your dreams.

0:01:40.593,0:01:42.503
Oh that's right, blame me.

0:01:42.503,0:01:46.433
It's not about blame, it's about[br]doing what's best for Maddy.

0:01:51.163,0:01:53.753
One term and we'll review.

0:01:53.753,0:01:56.883
Looks like this is rehab.

0:01:58.643,0:02:00.293
Try 'childhood'.

0:02:06.073,0:02:09.752
You don't get me up boarding school[br]two minutes from my house.

0:02:09.752,0:02:11.552
I'm not jumping

0:02:11.552,0:02:13.093
I'm paying.

0:02:13.093,0:02:14.813
What with? Spanish?

0:02:14.813,0:02:16.333
That's why I'm not getting.

0:02:16.333,0:02:17.873
You haven't got no money, have you?

0:02:17.873,0:02:18.923
Getting.

0:02:19.373,0:02:21.113
I'm working on a plan.

0:02:21.783,0:02:24.503
It'll all be sorted when I pick[br]you up for the end of term.

0:02:24.503,0:02:25.733
End of term?

0:02:25.733,0:02:27.393
Aren't you gonna come and see me?

0:02:27.393,0:02:30.473
School don't like parents[br]bugging kids during term time.

0:02:31.153,0:02:33.773
Honestly. That's what they said.

0:02:34.813,0:02:37.273
The kids are long-haired weirdos.

0:02:37.273,0:02:39.993
Hello! I'm not gonna fit in here, dad.

0:02:39.993,0:02:42.103
Why have I come to this school?

0:02:42.103,0:02:45.243
Because I don't know what[br]else to do with you, son.

0:02:52.533,0:02:54.713
We need to find the head teacher.

0:03:00.813,0:03:03.263
You want Maddy to turn out like her?

0:03:04.963,0:03:07.673
I want Maddy to turn out like Maddy.

0:03:12.143,0:03:14.433
Doing my best for you, Ryan.

0:03:15.963,0:03:18.103
Don't go getting chucked out again.

0:03:18.673,0:03:20.463
Third time, eh?

0:03:33.993,0:03:35.783
Peter! Peter!

0:04:08.713,0:04:11.013
That's your new head teacher, Maddy.

0:04:11.653,0:04:12.983
Not him.

0:04:13.693,0:04:14.903
Her.

0:04:35.313,0:04:36.613
Watch out!

0:04:38.063,0:04:41.693
Uh, excuse me. Who exactly[br]is in charge around here?

0:04:41.693,0:04:43.043
Erm...

0:04:43.043,0:04:44.483
We all are.

0:04:45.313,0:04:46.703
I'm Stella.

0:04:46.703,0:04:48.203
Maddy's buddy.

0:04:48.203,0:04:50.663
You can say your goodbyes now if you want.

0:04:50.663,0:04:51.943
I'll look after her.

0:04:51.943,0:04:53.363
- No.[br]- Yes.

0:04:53.363,0:04:54.433
Mum...

0:05:03.493,0:05:05.213
This is for you, darling.

0:05:05.213,0:05:07.203
A mobile![br]Thanks, mum!

0:05:07.203,0:05:09.853
Alright. Keep it switched ON.[br]I've put the charger in your case.

0:05:09.853,0:05:11.823
Here's some money.[br]Hm?

0:05:11.823,0:05:13.513
It's for emergencies only.

0:05:13.513,0:05:15.503
Here's a list of things to do.

0:05:16.803,0:05:18.423
Hug for mum?

0:05:23.183,0:05:26.453
Now work hard, yeah?[br]Keep on top of your lessons.

0:05:26.453,0:05:29.133
And if you don't like in here,[br]then you can come home.

0:05:30.843,0:05:31.993
Bye!

0:05:32.563,0:05:35.233
It'll be fine Mads.[br]Okay?

0:05:35.233,0:05:39.983
Don't worry about anything.[br]Just have fun. Okay?

0:05:39.983,0:05:41.213
But, dad...

0:05:41.213,0:05:42.813
Love you. Hm?

0:05:43.583,0:05:45.043
Love you too, dad.

0:05:45.043,0:05:46.833
Okay, come here.

0:05:50.873,0:05:53.813
This is Matt. We call him 'yoga mat'.[br][chuckles]

0:05:53.813,0:05:56.803
He's your house parent[br]and responsible adult.

0:06:07.653,0:06:09.703
The locker is for your valuables.

0:06:09.703,0:06:12.913
And Matt can look after your key if[br]you want. He's your house parent.

0:06:12.913,0:06:17.513
Giving no parents. And I don't need[br]nobody, thanks, all the same.

0:06:17.513,0:06:18.533
Nerd.

0:06:23.333,0:06:25.983
Everyone can climb that tree.

0:06:25.983,0:06:29.383
Just not the big because[br]basically it's.

0:06:29.383,0:06:32.063
There is also regulation that does not allow[br]a rule about not climbing it when it's raining.

0:06:32.363,0:06:34.343
What you mean is prohibited?

0:06:34.343,0:06:35.733
The school rules.

0:06:35.733,0:06:37.063
We we make them.

0:06:37.063,0:06:39.113
And sometimes we break them.

0:06:39.113,0:06:41.323
Kids make all the rules?

0:06:42.163,0:06:44.533
We meet here twice a week.

0:06:44.533,0:06:46.203
to discuss stuff,

0:06:46.203,0:06:47.673
propose new rules.

0:06:47.673,0:06:48.833
Everybody votes...

0:06:48.833,0:06:51.773
... and if enough people agree,[br]the rule is made law.

0:06:51.773,0:06:55.163
So what? We had a school[br]council at my last school.

0:06:55.163,0:06:58.743
yaps away but still[br]the teachers their way

0:06:58.743,0:07:00.343
It's not like that here.

0:07:00.343,0:07:03.863
The teachers are just part of[br]the community. Same as us.

0:07:03.863,0:07:06.293
It's 'one person, one vote'.

0:07:06.293,0:07:07.463
Hey, hey!

0:07:07.463,0:07:10.573
No skateboards allowed indoors.[br]It wrecks-up floors for everyone else.

0:07:10.573,0:07:11.763
Sorry.

0:07:14.043,0:07:15.583
A kid made up that rule?

0:07:15.583,0:07:18.853
Yeah, Carmen.[br]She got splinters.

0:07:19.643,0:07:21.393
Okay then...

0:07:22.023,0:07:24.413
I'm gonna say I don't[br]have to go to lessons.

0:07:24.803,0:07:26.413
Someone already did.

0:07:27.713,0:07:29.683
The man who started Summerhill.

0:07:30.753,0:07:35.433
He thought that kids should only[br]go to lessons if they wanted to.

0:07:35.433,0:07:38.013
So, I don't have to go to lessons?

0:07:38.013,0:07:40.443
You don't have to do[br]anything you don't want to.

0:07:40.443,0:07:42.673
That's the whole point of Summerhill.

0:07:55.883,0:07:58.613
And there's the drama studio.

0:07:59.943,0:08:01.703
Hi! I am Heather.

0:08:01.703,0:08:04.633
Come up, we're playing Pirates.[br]I'm being Tiger Lily!

0:08:07.363,0:08:09.363
Climbing trees is dangerous.

0:08:10.113,0:08:11.573
Who says?

0:08:15.063,0:08:16.233
Hi mum!

0:08:16.613,0:08:18.163
Yes, i'm fine.

0:08:18.163,0:08:20.133
Yes, the phone's working great!

0:08:20.133,0:08:21.303
Ahoy, there!

0:08:21.303,0:08:23.293
Enemy sighted at 3 o' clock!

0:08:23.293,0:08:26.653
Heather, we've played it already.[br]Let's do Mermaids on the Rock.

0:08:26.653,0:08:29.363
No, it's the real enemy...

0:08:30.693,0:08:33.073
... who is coming on board, Peter!

0:08:34.133,0:08:36.942
- Aarrgh![br]- Yeah, take that Hook!

0:08:36.942,0:08:38.492
Not him...

0:08:38.492,0:08:39.323
Them!

0:08:39.323,0:08:40.873
It's invasion!

0:08:40.873,0:08:42.643
There's hundreds of them!

0:08:56.513,0:08:58.033
Who are they?

0:08:58.033,0:09:00.463
Office of Standards in Education.

0:09:01.923,0:09:03.008
OFSTED

0:09:03.208,0:09:08.868
OFSTED!

0:09:14.743,0:09:16.243
OFSTED

0:09:24.563,0:09:30.843
Please remember: You're not educational[br]philosophers, but school inspectors.

0:09:30.843,0:09:35.793
Even if Summerhill might not feel like a[br]school, it is registered as a one...

0:09:35.793,0:09:40.543
and, as such, has to meet[br]certain minimum standards.

0:09:45.563,0:09:47.788
The key to a successful inspection...

0:09:47.788,0:09:51.728
will be to remain absolutely[br]focused on the big question.

0:09:55.603,0:09:56.913
And that is...

0:09:56.913,0:10:00.073
Are the children getting[br]an adequate education?

0:10:00.073,0:10:03.083
And if not... why not?

0:10:03.083,0:10:05.653
Precisely, Myrtle... Precisely.

0:10:07.413,0:10:09.503
So, you know the drill:

0:10:09.503,0:10:11.333
Quantifiable attainments.

0:10:11.333,0:10:13.583
Value added improvements.

0:10:13.583,0:10:15.693
Precise targets!

0:10:15.693,0:10:17.763
[LAUGHTER][br]Boozard!

0:10:18.733,0:10:22.763
That's a matter of order! I'm gonna[br]bring you up for that, Peter.

0:10:25.903,0:10:27.513
This isn't right, Len.

0:10:28.043,0:10:29.833
I'm afraid it is.

0:10:30.113,0:10:33.223
OFSTED wrote to say they were[br]coming for a three-day inspection.

0:10:33.223,0:10:34.543
No, I didn't mean that.

0:10:34.543,0:10:36.843
They've been in virtually every[br]year for the past nine years...

0:10:36.843,0:10:39.313
... but they've never sent in[br]eight inspectors before.

0:10:40.413,0:10:43.423
Len, I think this is a hit squad.

0:10:44.063,0:10:48.183
Somebody somewhere has got[br]waiting for us to do things the government's way.

0:10:48.183,0:10:49.873
What are you doing, Zoey?

0:10:50.203,0:10:51.643
Not going quietly.

0:10:58.513,0:11:01.333
Move it, all out in rows.

0:11:12.063,0:11:14.463
Good job, Fire Committee!

0:11:16.983,0:11:18.513
Roger Warton.

0:11:18.513,0:11:21.263
Sorry Redhead but call me Zoey,[br]everyone else does.

0:11:21.513,0:11:26.013
Mrs. will need the attendance book in lessons.

0:11:26.263,0:11:27.763
We have no such book.

0:11:31.713,0:11:35.813
That students are still free to choose whether to attend or not?

0:11:36.063,0:11:39.463
Absolutely. Children are not required to attend either one course as long as it is in Summerhill School.

0:11:40.613,0:11:41.913
The mean what?

0:11:42.163,0:11:43.663
Absolutely.

0:11:44.613,0:11:47.613
All courses remain optional.

0:11:49.063,0:11:51.063
All courses remain optional.

0:11:51.313,0:11:54.313
We would like to follow the courses as soon as possible.

0:11:54.563,0:11:56.463
Unfortunately we have no today ...

0:11:56.713,0:11:58.713
... But you are welcome to watch the matches.

0:12:20.963,0:12:22.963
If you do sign up the lessons, it's still up to you

0:12:23.263,0:12:26.263
weather you actually come along or not.

0:12:26.463,0:12:28.463
But if and when you come do come along

0:12:28.713,0:12:31.913
... You can come along to learn and participate fully.

0:12:34.763,0:12:37.163
It is not fair to other guys if you come in here and mess about.

0:12:37.413,0:12:38.913
If you want to do that ...

0:12:39.163,0:12:40.663
... There is plenty of room out there.

0:12:42.113,0:12:45.113
Now,learn it's top tip for the new guys:

0:12:45.363,0:12:49.163
playing is the most important thing you will do here at Summerhill .

0:12:49.413,0:12:50.913
Make time for it.

0:12:53.663,0:12:55.863
Guys,l need your sheets back by this afternoon please.

0:12:56.113,0:13:00.513
And when I've drunk a couple of buckets of coffee and wrapped a warm towel around my head

0:13:00.763,0:13:02.763
... I will write your personal time tables

0:13:03.013,0:13:04.513
I'm going to do English

0:13:04.763,0:13:05.963
... And woodwork of course

0:13:06.113,0:13:08.013
Of course, you build a new boat?

0:13:10.763,0:13:12.263
Thank you, Peter.

0:13:15.913,0:13:17.713
What about you,Ryan?

0:13:17.963,0:13:19.463
Earth to Ryan?

0:13:19.713,0:13:21.713
What about a bit of astronomy, Ryan?

0:13:22.463,0:13:24.463
You know, the stars at night ...

0:13:24.713,0:13:26.713
Get to join up the dots.

0:13:26.963,0:13:28.463
No.

0:13:29.013,0:13:30.613
What about a language?

0:13:30.863,0:13:32.363
Good opportunity for conversation.

0:13:32.513,0:13:33.513
No.

0:13:33.663,0:13:35.263
We do a nice array on a magic tricks.

0:13:35.513,0:13:36.413
Bike Mechanics ...

0:13:36.463,0:13:37.263
Cricket;

0:13:37.313,0:13:38.313
No no no.

0:13:38.563,0:13:40.063
I do not want to sign up to any lesson.

0:13:44.213,0:13:45.713
Do I smell?

0:13:49.263,0:13:50.863
Ryan.

0:13:51.113,0:13:52.613
Didn't you just say you weren't interested?

0:13:52.863,0:13:54.363
No.

0:13:54.613,0:13:56.613
Okay, bye for now then. See you later.

0:13:57.763,0:13:59.763
Sorry that took so long.

0:14:00.013,0:14:02.013
I do hope I sound better in translation.

0:14:03.363,0:14:05.663
Now, has anybody got any questions?

0:14:07.813,0:14:09.413
Maddy.

0:14:09.663,0:14:12.363
How much are we allowed to sign up for?

0:14:12.613,0:14:15.413
Well, as much as you like really.

0:14:15.663,0:14:17.163
As many as you think you'll be happy with.

0:14:18.613,0:14:20.013
Yeah, as many as you like.

0:14:24.563,0:14:27.363
Yes, no lessons!

0:14:27.613,0:14:30.713
Come on! Yes Yes! No lessons!

0:14:37.663,0:14:38.863
Hello Maddy.

0:14:39.113,0:14:40.613
How is sign-up?

0:14:40.863,0:14:43.363
I didn't get any lessons for the first year I was here!

0:14:43.613,0:14:45.113
I could not do that.

0:14:45.363,0:14:46.863
I've got to keep on top of things.

0:14:51.313,0:14:52.713
Hi Mom.

0:14:52.963,0:14:54.463
Yes, I'm just signing up the lessons.

0:14:54.713,0:14:56.213
All my subjects are here.

0:14:56.463,0:14:57.963
They even do Japanese.

0:14:59.213,0:15:01.013
Yes, okay, I will .

0:15:01.763,0:15:06.863
English, Math, Science, Geography ...

0:15:08.213,0:15:10.213
Will he come back to lessons?

0:15:10.463,0:15:11.763
Probably

0:15:12.013,0:15:13.513
Probably?

0:15:13.763,0:15:15.263
I see...

0:15:15.813,0:15:18.413
Do you have an approximate time scale for "probably"?

0:15:18.663,0:15:20.663
Couple of weeks in most cases.

0:15:20.999,0:15:24.999
Sometimes it's months before the boredom and curiosity factor sets in.

0:15:25.163,0:15:26.663
It could be years.

0:15:26.913,0:15:28.413
Years?

0:15:28.663,0:15:30.163
Children do not have years.

0:15:30.413,0:15:34.013
Exactly why A.S. Neil thought that childhood was so precious.

0:15:34.263,0:15:37.263
The late Mr. Niel's philosophy is all very interesting I'm sure

0:15:37.513,0:15:40.113
... But what about the day-to-day practicalities?

0:15:40.363,0:15:42.963
What strategies have you put in place to support children like him?

0:15:43.213,0:15:45.713
We don't use strategies as such.

0:15:46.663,0:15:50.863
I do hope you will experience some of the Summerhill magic while you're here.

0:15:52.113,0:15:55.613
I'm sorry,but I can't see "magic" here on my tick-list.

0:16:00.663,0:16:02.063
No.

0:16:35.413,0:16:37.913
I cried a lot when I first came here.

0:16:38.163,0:16:40.463
You'll get into it. It's brilliant and fun!

0:16:40.713,0:16:42.213
I don't think so.

0:16:48.563,0:16:49.763
Does she ever let you alone?

0:16:56.863,0:16:58.363
This will cheer you up.

0:16:58.613,0:17:00.113
What will?

0:17:02.463,0:17:03.763
The lights out in half an hour!

0:17:04.012,0:17:05.512
Yes, Stella!

0:17:06.163,0:17:07.663
Come.

0:17:16.913,0:17:19.512
Do you want to go down town for fish and chips tomorrow?

0:17:20.163,0:17:21.463
I'm broke.

0:17:23.512,0:17:24.813
Anyone for kisses and cuddles?

0:17:24.863,0:17:26.262
Me!

0:17:34.913,0:17:36.413
Look, I have got sweets.

0:17:36.663,0:17:38.463
Yeah , and I have got some crisps.

0:17:39.113,0:17:40.613
What is that all for?

0:17:40.863,0:17:42.363
Me and Peter ...

0:17:42.613,0:17:44.113
... are planning to sneak out. A midnight feast.

0:17:44.563,0:17:46.063
Ssch, don't let them hear.

0:17:46.313,0:17:47.313
Why?

0:17:47.563,0:17:49.063
They're bed officers.

0:17:49.213,0:17:51.013
They'll make sure we go to bed.

0:17:51.263,0:17:54.063
I know, we could hide all under my invisibility cloak.

0:17:54.213,0:17:55.413
I do not want to get into trouble.

0:17:55.663,0:17:57.163
We won't.

0:17:57.313,0:17:58.813
Only if we get caught.

0:18:00.563,0:18:02.063
I am not coming.

0:18:02.813,0:18:04.313
Suit yourself.

0:18:09.663,0:18:11.463
Where did you get this phone?

0:18:11.713,0:18:13.213
My mom.

0:18:13.463,0:18:14.963
She is a lawyer.

0:18:15.213,0:18:16.713
Mine works abroad.

0:18:18.063,0:18:19.563
What do you think this place is?

0:18:20.813,0:18:22.813
Some of the kids are a bit weird.

0:18:23.063,0:18:24.463
Like Peter, right?.

0:18:24.713,0:18:25.713
"Invisibility cloak"

0:18:25.963,0:18:27.463
How old is he? Six?

0:18:28.413,0:18:30.413
Lend me a fiver?

0:18:31.163,0:18:32.963
I barely got a twenty pound note

0:18:33.113,0:18:34.713
and it is for an emergencies only.

0:18:34.863,0:18:36.463
Like what?

0:18:38.213,0:18:39.713
Don't worry.

0:19:00.763,0:19:02.263
Maddy.

0:19:04.213,0:19:05.713
Maddy.

0:21:00.000,0:21:00.963
Maddy.

0:21:03.313,0:21:05.313
How was your first night?

0:21:07.363,0:21:08.863
Come on.

0:21:10.713,0:21:12.213
Still offer town?

0:21:12.463,0:21:13.763
I thought you were skinned.

0:21:14.413,0:21:16.613
Well, I forgot I had this.

0:21:22.763,0:21:25.263
Welcome to our school meeting.

0:21:26.213,0:21:27.713
Meeting come to order!

0:21:27.963,0:21:29.963
Everyone, sit down and shut up!!

0:21:32.513,0:21:34.513
We are here to inspect the school.

0:21:34.763,0:21:36.263
Quiet, please.

0:21:36.513,0:21:39.513
I want to bring up Peter for throwing a waterballon ...

0:21:39.763,0:21:41.763
Hang on,there is an agenda, you have to wait.

0:21:42.013,0:21:43.513
I want to bring up Heather and Peter ...

0:21:43.763,0:21:45.563
... for sneaking out last night and waking me up.

0:21:45.813,0:21:47.313
Sorry, Stella speaks next.

0:21:47.563,0:21:50.063
I'm gonna speak for Maddy as ombudsman.

0:21:50.313,0:21:53.313
She saw Ryan taking twenty pounds from her cupboard.

0:21:53.563,0:21:55.063
You liar!

0:21:55.113,0:21:56.813
Shhh! Don't crosstalk.

0:21:57.063,0:21:58.663
Ryan, just tell us your side of the story..

0:21:58.913,0:22:00.413
- I didn't steal nothing!. - You did!

0:22:01.663,0:22:02.663
Peter.

0:22:02.913,0:22:06.613
Ryan was skinned last night, today he was freshing a twenty.

0:22:07.963,0:22:10.463
Just check his pockets. He has stuffed it in there.

0:22:11.313,0:22:13.313
Look, I will not do if you want to.

0:22:13.563,0:22:15.063
I haven't got the money.

0:22:15.313,0:22:18.213
Maddy says Ryan asked for her money last night ...

0:22:18.463,0:22:20.963
... And she told him her mom had given her twenty pounds.

0:22:22.513,0:22:23.713
Order!

0:22:23.963,0:22:26.263
How do we know that Ryan took Maddy's money?

0:22:26.513,0:22:28.513
I saw him coming out of our room last night.

0:22:30.463,0:22:32.963
Ryan that's pretty obvious you did it.

0:22:33.513,0:22:34.713
I found it...

0:22:35.763,0:22:37.563
I found it outside.

0:22:38.063,0:22:41.563
I find it a bit unprobable to find twenty pounds lying randomly..

0:22:41.563,0:22:43.063
I believe the new girl.

0:22:43.313,0:22:45.813
Sam stop crosstalking. If you want to say something put your hand up.

0:22:47.163,0:22:49.663
He shouldn't go into other rooms and take things ...

0:22:49.913,0:22:51.413
New kids always gonna get wild.

0:22:51.663,0:22:52.663
I did ...

0:22:52.913,0:22:54.913
Ok, that'll be fine, shut up!

0:22:55.163,0:22:57.563
I propose Ryan get a strong warning..

0:22:57.813,0:22:59.613
What about Maddy? She's lost twenty pounds!

0:23:00.163,0:23:01.263
That's a lot!

0:23:01.513,0:23:03.313
I propose that Ryan is fined twenty pounds.

0:23:03.963,0:23:06.363
It could be taken out of his pocke. - Pocket money?

0:23:07.513,0:23:10.013
How about we say two pounds a week?

0:23:10.263,0:23:11.763
Ok.

0:23:12.013,0:23:13.613
Anymore hands? No

0:23:14.063,0:23:15.363
Okay let's take the proposals.

0:23:15.159,0:23:17.113
So there are two proposals .

0:23:17.363,0:23:20.363
All those in favor of a strong warning for Ryan?

0:23:21.513,0:23:25.113
All those in favor of Ryan being fined twenty pounds and the money goes to Maddy?

0:23:30.563,0:23:35.063
Ryan it's been carried that you're fined two pounds a week for the next ten weeks.

0:23:36.713,0:23:39.513
Hold on, you can not leave without the permission of the chair!

0:23:40.663,0:23:42.663
Twenty fine for Ryan.

0:23:43.313,0:23:45.013
I'm worried about that boy.

0:23:56.063,0:23:59.463
We really must see some lessons, Myrtle.

0:24:03.413,0:24:06.913
You must get permission before leaving the meeting.

0:24:08.263,0:24:10.663
Really? The impertinence ...

0:24:17.813,0:24:20.213
Okay, meeting closed.

0:24:35.163,0:24:36.663
Hey, Maddy.

0:24:36.913,0:24:38.713
Did your sign up sheet?

0:24:41.663,0:24:42.663
Thank you.

0:24:48.513,0:24:49.713
Are you sure about these, Maddy?

0:24:50.213,0:24:53.563
You don't want to do any of the fun activities?

0:24:58.613,0:25:00.113
That's old man Neil.

0:25:01.063,0:25:03.763
He believed passionately that children have rights.

0:25:04.613,0:25:06.913
That they are not owned by the teachers ...

0:25:07.663,0:25:09.663
... Or your parents.

0:25:09.913,0:25:12.413
This is what I want to do.

0:25:14.663,0:25:17.163
Freedom is a big thing to deal with, Maddy.

0:25:17.213,0:25:19.213
You are not used to having it.

0:25:30.163,0:25:31.663
I thought you wanted to be mates.

0:25:31.863,0:25:32.763
I do!

0:25:32.763,0:25:34.263
You trashed me off!

0:25:36.013,0:25:37.813
But you stole the money!

0:26:05.363,0:26:07.263
Are you alright, Peter?

0:26:46.313,0:26:48.113
Hello, Mom.

0:27:14.363,0:27:16.063
Dad! Let me in!

0:27:16.313,0:27:17.813
Dad, where are you?

0:27:38.163,0:27:41.363
SOLD

0:28:39.164,0:28:42.514
Maddy! I can help you to make a wooden one.

0:28:42.703,0:28:44.653
Later... if you like.

0:28:44.883,0:28:46.683
Thanks, but I 've got lessons.

0:28:50.883,0:28:51.783
Come on, dad!

0:28:52.573,0:28:53.663
Pick up the phone!

0:29:37.162,0:29:40.292
He promised that it would be different this time.

0:29:40.882,0:29:43.882
Instead, he sold the house and he disappeared.

0:29:44.252,0:29:46.752
I'm sure there is a simple explanation.

0:29:49.882,0:29:51.182
Ryan, it is okay.

0:29:53.152,0:29:55.152
It's alright to cry.

0:30:00.592,0:30:02.592
Who is going to look after me now?

0:30:02.622,0:30:03.542
We are.

0:30:03.992,0:30:04.992
Oh yeah!

0:30:05.282,0:30:06.982
That's a lie too!

0:30:07.212,0:30:10.592
Cause the kids are going to chuck me out the next meeting and you know it.

0:30:16.952,0:30:18.432
Ah, there you are!

0:30:18.502,0:30:20.002
The classrooms are deserted!

0:30:20.042,0:30:22.542
That is because they are all in there.

0:30:23.172,0:30:24.672
Again...

0:30:25.352,0:30:29.352
I can't observe if there is nothing to... observe!

0:30:30.212,0:30:31.212
Come on in!

0:30:32.242,0:30:34.242
It is decided that you can come in.

0:30:34.902,0:30:38.902
This is a special meeting to sort out what happened with Ryan.

0:30:40.102,0:30:42.102
You were quite right about that boy, Myrtle.

0:30:42.682,0:30:45.182
He needs supervision and structure.

0:30:55.012,0:30:56.512
It wasn't a fight!

0:30:56.832,0:30:58.332
Peter never lifted a finger.

0:30:58.852,0:31:01.852
Ryan just kept kicking him.

0:31:02.512,0:31:03.112
Len.

0:31:03.252,0:31:05.252
I can't remember anything like this.

0:31:05.272,0:31:06.772
Well, perhaps once.

0:31:06.772,0:31:08.692
I propose Ryan is sent home for a week

0:31:08.862,0:31:11.162
I don't think it is long enough. He is a pain!

0:31:12.722,0:31:15.352
Send him home for the rest of the term!

0:31:15.692,0:31:19.192
It's getting serious, but I say three days is enough.

0:31:20.452,0:31:22.452
If you he has to stay here ...

0:31:22.702,0:31:24.702
and live with people who are fed up with him ...

0:31:24.952,0:31:26.452
he will get the point quicker.

0:31:26.902,0:31:28.202
Yes...

0:31:28.712,0:31:31.752
He went downtown to his home and is not allowed to do that.

0:31:32.002,0:31:33.502
Yes, you should be gated for that.

0:31:33.572,0:31:35.252
But he does not know all the rules.

0:31:35.302,0:31:36.802
He can read the rule book.

0:31:37.752,0:31:39.752
Anybody else got anything to say?

0:31:43.552,0:31:45.902
I know I got up to people's noses when I started here.

0:31:46.112,0:31:48.752
yes, you were right a little toe rag.

0:31:49.392,0:31:51.902
But you didn't try to break anyone's nose.

0:31:52.152,0:31:53.752
Alright, I didn't hit anyone.

0:31:53.902,0:31:56.502
but I knicked stuff that I could get my hand on.

0:31:56.752,0:31:58.752
And that was just the first week.

0:32:00.312,0:32:02.312
Kids have issues and get angry.

0:32:02.962,0:32:05.462
I was angry back then, and Ryan is now.

0:32:06.252,0:32:10.202
He got stuff going on in his life and maybe he will talk to somenone about it

0:32:10.212,0:32:12.212
But he won't if we just chuck him out.

0:32:12.472,0:32:16.472
I propose that Ryan get a strong warning for hitting me ...

0:32:16.572,0:32:19.542
and is gated for a week for going out school on his own.

0:32:20.182,0:32:22.482
Okay we have three proposals against each other.

0:32:22.682,0:32:25.682
All of those in favor of Ryan being sent home for a week?

0:32:27.211,0:32:30.211
All of those in favor of Ryan being suspended for the term?

0:32:31.041,0:32:33.942
All of those in favor of a strong warning for hitting Peter..

0:32:34.192,0:32:37.102
and gate him for a week for going downtown on his own.?

0:32:37.152,0:32:38.351
All against all!

0:32:38.579,0:32:43.700
It is carried! Ryan, you got a strong warning and is gated for a week. Okay?

0:32:47.032,0:32:48.222
Thanks everybody!

0:32:48.232,0:32:51.192
It is morning tea now and then lessons start for the term.

0:32:54.802,0:32:58.001
They are only cheering because they know they know they don't have to go.

0:33:10.002,0:33:13.002
Today we are going to write obituaries.

0:33:13.252,0:33:14.752
What's that?

0:33:15.002,0:33:18.502
Obituary means is a tribute to somebody who has recently died.

0:33:18.752,0:33:22.252
Like a hero, or someone brave or famous.

0:33:22.502,0:33:24.002
Correct

0:33:24.252,0:33:26.052
I do not know anyone famous dead people.

0:33:26.302,0:33:28.802
We don't have to worry about the real dead people.

0:33:30.152,0:33:35.652
The goal is try to imagine the kind life the person sitting next to us might live.

0:33:36.602,0:33:38.102
Heather, can you start?

0:33:38.352,0:33:39.852
What about Peter ...

0:33:40.102,0:33:42.802
the first boy to navigate the Globe ...

0:33:43.052,0:33:46.352
... In a bucket boat he made in a Summerhill workshop?

0:33:46.602,0:33:47.902
Great start!

0:33:47.952,0:33:49.452
Maddy?

0:33:49.702,0:33:52.702
I'm sorry, I know you do not know these guys very well.

0:33:53.352,0:33:58.352
How would you describe your life in, let's say, 70 years from now?

0:34:06.702,0:34:08.702
Mom: "Good luck on your first lesson"

0:34:08.952,0:34:10.452
Maddy? Just talk about that.

0:34:13.452,0:34:15.452
Don't worry about it too much Maddy.

0:34:15.702,0:34:17.402
Just let your imagination play.

0:34:17.652,0:34:21.852
Let her play with shining, fullfilled, happy lives.

0:34:23.792,0:34:28.092
Visit the wildest places of your imagination and just say "Hello"!

0:34:39.552,0:34:42.552
And that is how Maddy Chartpout, the famous navigator died ...

0:34:42.802,0:34:44.302
Slow down Peter.

0:34:45.052,0:34:49.552
... Died the moment after he discovered a bright island at the edge of the world.

0:35:25.102,0:35:26.102
Maddy?

0:35:37.122,0:35:38.822
You're not my mom.

0:35:38.882,0:35:43.892
We don't contact parents unless it is a life and death emergency. And even then not always.

0:35:46.712,0:35:48.212
I turned it off while you were asleep.

0:35:49.902,0:35:51.902

0:35:52.152,0:35:54.152
I've got to get up

0:36:42.022,0:36:43.322
Hurry, they're in the woods!

0:36:43.382,0:36:44.422
Who are?

0:36:44.472,0:36:46.272
They are. They are coming to get us.

0:36:52.162,0:36:54.162
Here is a good place to trap the enemy.

0:36:54.952,0:36:56.452
Here,have the catapult.

0:36:57.582,0:36:59.342
Really? I can I use this??

0:36:59.542,0:37:01.642
You can't shoot at people, just pretend.

0:37:12.012,0:37:13.202
Hello,children.

0:37:13.782,0:37:15.282
We are not children.

0:37:17.532,0:37:19.532
Hook has been after Blackbeard for years.

0:37:20.252,0:37:21.632
You're surrounded.

0:37:21.722,0:37:23.222
Secure her!

0:37:27.302,0:37:29.302
I surrender.

0:37:29.552,0:37:31.052
Why should we spare you?

0:37:31.302,0:37:32.802
Give us one good reason.

0:37:37.582,0:37:39.362
If you let me go free ...

0:37:39.402,0:37:42.402
... I promise never to set foot in Neverlend again.

0:37:47.092,0:37:48.592
Treasure!

0:37:49.612,0:37:50.612
Yes!

0:37:52.592,0:37:54.592
It's my chance to catch Hook

0:37:54.752,0:37:56.752
Distract him with a shot.

0:37:58.852,0:37:59.752
Stop.

0:37:59.782,0:38:01.282
I found something.

0:38:02.592,0:38:04.092
Now what ?

0:38:04.412,0:38:07.412
I do not know, is improvisation, so we'll make it up as we go along.

0:38:07.462,0:38:09.962
Rather sums up the place, I fear.

0:38:10.842,0:38:13.842
Maddy, you want to help write the next bit?

0:38:14.962,0:38:19.822
How about: "Oh,mommy, oh,Daddy, you think I'm so sweet and so good ...

0:38:20.412,0:38:22.912
... But inside I'm evil! "

0:38:24.062,0:38:25.362
Can we say that?

0:38:25.652,0:38:27.152
Of course we can. It's drama.To make believe.

0:38:28.352,0:38:30.682
So what happens next?

0:38:31.012,0:38:32.512
Maddy?

0:38:37.762,0:38:41.062
Perhaps you can ask your mom what she thinks?

0:38:45.102,0:38:47.602
Maddy? You got an idea?

0:38:48.352,0:38:52.052
Hi Maddy, this is the seventh message that I've left you.

0:38:52.302,0:38:54.802
Please, when you get this, ring me straight away..

0:38:58.482,0:39:01.982
Once upon a time there was a little girl called Cinderella.

0:39:03.702,0:39:06.902
Who had a lot of issues with her parents.

0:39:07.452,0:39:11.252
Mother, I don't have a problem with daddy anymore.

0:39:11.902,0:39:13.902
I killed him last summer.

0:39:15.098,0:39:16.698
She was, in the old days...

0:39:17.702,0:39:21.202
... before child councelling and happy time medication ...

0:39:21.452,0:39:24.652
... seething with inner rage!

0:39:24.902,0:39:27.902
Basically, I am really disturbed.

0:39:32.152,0:39:34.152
Die! die! die! die!

0:39:43.762,0:39:45.832
Rose.... Rose! No!

0:39:46.172,0:39:49.672
Look, if Maddy has turned off her mobile phone that's her business.

0:39:50.092,0:39:51.392
No.

0:39:51.742,0:39:53.942
No, I can't ask her to turn it back on.

0:39:56.142,0:39:59.142
But that's not how we do things.

0:40:03.822,0:40:05.522
Poor little thing

0:40:05.632,0:40:08.132
I am not sure there is much we can do to help it, I'm afraid..

0:40:08.562,0:40:11.062
Why? What's wrong with him?

0:40:11.412,0:40:13.312
I think it's the runt of the litter

0:40:13.482,0:40:15.482
The weakest and most helpless.

0:40:16.072,0:40:19.372
The mother often abandons and leaves them to die I'm afraid.

0:40:19.952,0:40:21.752
We should probably just leave it, you know.....

0:40:22.002,0:40:24.002
... let nature take it's course.

0:40:24.252,0:40:26.552
I'm not leaving him here to die!

0:40:55.092,0:40:56.892
It's starving!

0:40:56.992,0:40:58.492
He's shaking.

0:40:58.822,0:41:00.822
It's probably cold as well as starving.

0:41:01.552,0:41:03.252
He. It's a boy.

0:41:03.502,0:41:06.002
We have got to find him something to eat, Peter.

0:41:07.852,0:41:10.852
Appearently you can use droppers to feed wild baby rabbits

0:41:11.102,0:41:16.432
Normal milk is alright for now but it might be better to get something called " kitten replacement milk".

0:41:17.132,0:41:18.632
Here ......

0:41:18.762,0:41:20.262
Thanks

0:41:21.202,0:41:23.402
Cheers, Missis lnspector!

0:42:02.172,0:42:05.038
It's perfect for the essential practice! Thanks Ryan.

0:42:07.102,0:42:09.002
Try these droppers

0:42:09.252,0:42:12.252
Thanks. You hold him you and I'll feed him.

0:42:12.782,0:42:16.282
Well, how do you know that the boiled sweet contains sucrose?

0:42:17.152,0:42:20.452
Em.....because it didn't react with Benedict solution.

0:42:20.702,0:42:24.232
It would have if i boiled it with hydrocronic acid

0:42:24.732,0:42:26.732
... And then neutralized with sodium solution.

0:42:27.242,0:42:29.552
Do you know why it doesn't give a reaction?

0:42:29.952,0:42:35.242
Because the reactive bits on to glucose molecules have been joined together to make sucrose

0:42:35.592,0:42:37.392
... And sucrose is not reduced sugar.

0:42:39.192,0:42:43.252
The plant makes it like that so that it doesn't damage the protein...

0:42:43.502,0:42:45.002
... As glucose itself would.

0:42:45.952,0:42:48.952
I used to be a science teacher myself.

0:42:57.422,0:42:58.682
He is super!

0:42:58.932,0:43:00.432
Are you open for university?

0:43:00.722,0:43:02.722
No, just some GCNCs for now.

0:43:03.452,0:43:04.722
GCNCs?

0:43:04.982,0:43:06.982
But he is working at A-level standard!

0:43:07.742,0:43:11.242
Ned only started coming to lessons last year.

0:43:11.562,0:43:13.562
But that is impossible!

0:43:14.632,0:43:19.632
When children decide they want to learn, they go like rockets.

0:43:53.942,0:43:55.742
Odd socks are like rabbits.

0:43:55.902,0:43:58.072
You got hundred more of them by morning.

0:43:59.202,0:44:01.202
What do you think we should call him?

0:44:02.592,0:44:04.092
Dinner?

0:44:05.092,0:44:07.092
Dinner. I like it.

0:44:07.772,0:44:10.172
What will happen to him at the end of term?

0:44:10.252,0:44:12.752
He's yours, you can take him home.

0:44:14.100,0:44:16.600
I'm sure your dad will come for you.

0:44:17.712,0:44:21.712
Ryan, you're not the only person here with a less than perfect life.

0:44:22.502,0:44:24.002
That's why we love Summerhill School.

0:44:24.022,0:44:26.022
It is like a real home.

0:44:29.212,0:44:31.212
That thing dead yet?

0:45:09.852,0:45:11.352
How is that?

0:45:11.352,0:45:13.052
Yes, that's right.

0:45:21.402,0:45:23.702
They are too close together.

0:45:23.842,0:45:26.342
You should spread them out a bit more.

0:45:42.102,0:45:44.102
If the inspectors do not like school ...

0:45:44.132,0:45:46.632
... they can shut it down, can't they?

0:45:46.932,0:45:50.932
If the government wanted to close Summerhill they would have done it years ago.

0:45:57.582,0:45:59.222
Have I missed the meeting?

0:45:59.232,0:46:00.562
You're for the high jump.

0:46:00.562,0:46:02.562
Oh, no ...

0:46:12.002,0:46:15.002
Sorry, I lost track of the time.

0:46:15.002,0:46:17.002
I have heard from all the others.

0:46:17.052,0:46:19.052
Of course Roger, sorry ...

0:46:19.952,0:46:23.452
Baby Rabbits only need feeding once a day ...

0:46:24.352,0:46:25.852
Sorry.

0:46:26.602,0:46:28.652
Right, here we are.

0:46:28.652,0:46:30.002
Observations.

0:46:30.002,0:46:32.102
Are the children getting a proper education?

0:46:32.332,0:46:34.532
It depends on what you mean by "proper education".

0:46:34.692,0:46:37.692
One that generally includes going to lessons.

0:46:38.562,0:46:43.062
There is one 14-year-old who has attained A-level standard in the sciences.

0:46:43.062,0:46:46.662
And judging by those photographs, he is not the only academic high-flyer. .

0:46:46.722,0:46:49.062
Children who are inclined to learn are one thing...

0:46:49.062,0:46:50.962
But what about the rest of them?

0:46:50.962,0:46:52.562
They are allowed to fall behind.

0:46:52.562,0:46:54.562
This is a failing school, Myrtle.

0:46:54.742,0:46:56.542
But what about the good things?

0:46:56.929,0:46:58.309
I've written lots on citizenship,

0:46:58.572,0:47:00.932
anti-bullying, inclusiveness...

0:47:01.022,0:47:04.022
Our job is not to inspect children's democracies.

0:47:05.412,0:47:08.112
But what about the way the community has dealt with Ryan?

0:47:08.612,0:47:10.112
You know, that boy...

0:47:10.642,0:47:12.642
... they've embraced him.

0:47:13.292,0:47:16.292
I don't pretend to understand Summerhill and it is certainly not perfect but...

0:47:17.652,0:47:20.152
... there is something about this place.

0:47:20.862,0:47:22.862
Magic?

0:47:24.302,0:47:26.302
Ah, sorry, not disturbing anything, am I?

0:47:26.672,0:47:28.172
Not at all.

0:47:29.702,0:47:31.702
Shall we step out for a moment?

0:47:41.992,0:47:43.992
We are going into the woods, who wants to come?

0:47:44.082,0:47:45.282
Peter?

0:47:45.344,0:47:46.844
I'm starting on the ship's mast.

0:47:46.982,0:47:48.482
How about you, Maddy?

0:47:49.882,0:47:50.782
Alright!

0:47:50.822,0:47:51.462
Yes!

0:47:51.502,0:47:52.652
Come on!

0:48:03.282,0:48:04.182
Look ...

0:48:04.182,0:48:07.982
Summerhill is on the TBW-list and has been for years

0:48:09.052,0:48:10.552
TBW?

0:48:12.512,0:48:15.012
Well, that explains all the inspections.

0:48:17.122,0:48:19.122
We are pecking them to death!

0:48:22.052,0:48:25.052
I need to present our findings to Mrs. Redhead.

0:48:29.152,0:48:31.312
TBW!

0:49:08.132,0:49:09.132
Maddy!

0:49:09.452,0:49:10.452
Mama!

0:49:10.552,0:49:11.852
What is going on?

0:49:11.932,0:49:13.132
Playing.

0:49:13.392,0:49:14.092
What?

0:49:14.092,0:49:15.192
I am playing!

0:49:15.262,0:49:19.632
Yes I can see that and you are climbing trees which I banned you from doing, it is dangerous!

0:49:19.952,0:49:22.752
Why aren't you answering your phone, huh?

0:49:23.462,0:49:25.962
And why aren't you in class?

0:49:28.992,0:49:30.792
I told you to go to lessons!

0:49:31.452,0:49:32.952
It is like the exams.

0:49:33.182,0:49:35.382
When I wrtite my head seizes up.

0:49:35.382,0:49:37.882
Like I am being blown up from the inside

0:49:37.899,0:49:39.899
- I just can't! - Or won't!

0:49:39.899,0:49:42.399
That is not true, Mom! Please, listen...

0:49:42.399,0:49:44.199
Alright, go and pack your things, Maddy, we are going home.

0:49:45.072,0:49:47.072
No! I love it here.

0:49:47.622,0:49:49.122
I'm happy.

0:49:53.112,0:49:54.612
Now!

0:49:56.792,0:49:58.792
- Do what I tell you! - Get off me!

0:50:09.679,0:50:14.679
You must ensure that pupils are fully engaged in studies across a broad and balanced curriculum.

0:50:15.072,0:50:18.072
But, we listen to what each of our children wants to learn about

0:50:18.072,0:50:20.572
... And then we make our curriculum to suit them.

0:50:20.622,0:50:23.122
And we make the school fits the child, that's Summerhill!

0:50:23.982,0:50:25.482
With respect, Mrs. Redhead

0:50:25.512,0:50:30.102
... you don't really believe that the child can be trusted to know what's best for him, I'm sure

0:50:30.102,0:50:32.102
That's exactly what we believe!

0:50:39.392,0:50:41.892
Children can not fulfil their true potential ...

0:50:41.972,0:50:44.472
... If they are not free to be themselves.

0:50:53.802,0:50:58.302
How can children fulfil their potential if they don't attend lessons on a regular basis.

0:50:58.552,0:51:00.052
Ah........

0:51:00.912,0:51:02.912
This is what this is about, isn't it?

0:51:02.912,0:51:05.412
Forcing children into classrooms.

0:51:08.402,0:51:10.902
Don't even bother sending your children here!

0:51:11.102,0:51:13.102
These are her majesty's inspectors..

0:51:13.162,0:51:17.902
Do you know that the teachers tell the children that they needn't bother going to lessons?

0:51:17.912,0:51:19.712
Maddy made the decision herself.

0:51:19.802,0:51:22.802
She is eleven! How does he know what is best for her?

0:51:23.032,0:51:25.532
Because she's got a mind of her own.

0:51:27.032,0:51:30.032
I'm withdrawing my daughter with immediate effect.

0:51:35.872,0:51:40.172
You must ensure adequate provision is made for pupils with dyslexia.

0:51:40.212,0:51:41.712
So, to sum up

0:51:41.772,0:51:44.272
Summerhill has many shortcomings...

0:51:44.402,0:51:47.902
But the root cause of these defects is the non-attendance of lessons.

0:51:49.952,0:51:54.952
And this is likely to adversely affect the children's future prospects.

0:51:55.582,0:51:56.982
That's just not true!

0:51:56.982,0:51:58.482
It is our opinion.

0:51:59.372,0:52:01.242
So? What happens next?

0:52:01.572,0:52:05.572
I submit the report then OFSTEAD decide what to do next.

0:52:08.202,0:52:13.202
I think you can expect to see me again in a matter of days Mrs. Redhead.

0:52:31.552,0:52:32.552
There you go.

0:52:32.722,0:52:34.222
Be safe now.

0:52:42.172,0:52:44.352
Len, Len!

0:52:46.232,0:52:47.472
Fire! over there!

0:52:47.472,0:52:48.982
It's the workshop, Ryan

0:52:48.982,0:52:51.282
Run to the office as quick as you can!

0:52:56.332,0:52:58.332
Fire! at the workshop.

0:53:10.732,0:53:12.732
Maddy!

0:53:26.652,0:53:27.652
Maddy!

0:53:27.702,0:53:28.702
Where have you been!?

0:53:29.012,0:53:30.012
Peter is missing!

0:53:30.442,0:53:31.942
He is in the workshop!

0:53:31.992,0:53:34.392
Will! Will!

0:53:45.822,0:53:47.822
I can see him. He is over there!

0:53:49.252,0:53:50.752
Everyone back!

0:53:51.712,0:53:56.722
Everyone, get all buckets you can get your hands on and fill them from the pool.

0:53:57.032,0:53:59.532
Peter! Peter!

0:54:06.982,0:54:08.482
It's gonna be OK.

0:54:08.482,0:54:09.652
How did it start?

0:54:09.652,0:54:11.852
We do not know, Ryan raised the alarm.

0:54:12.452,0:54:15.452
I bet some little hooligans started this deliberetly!

0:54:15.942,0:54:18.442
Somebody must have seen something.

0:54:19.402,0:54:21.902
I saw Ryan. He did it!

0:54:24.082,0:54:26.082
Maddy?

0:54:26.192,0:54:27.692
Are you certain?

0:54:45.222,0:54:45.882
Zoe,

0:54:46.202,0:54:48.202
we think Peter is inside.....

0:54:48.272,0:54:49.072
What?!

0:54:49.132,0:54:51.242
Will is going after him.

0:54:53.452,0:54:55.252
Did you hear me?!!!!

0:54:55.502,0:54:57.502
Did you hear me?! Will!!!

0:55:10.792,0:55:12.032
Who is in there?

0:55:12.032,0:55:15.032
It's Will and Peter, who is eleven. - Two inside!

0:55:39.672,0:55:41.362
Any idea who had started?

0:55:41.382,0:55:42.382
We think it was Ryan.

0:55:42.552,0:55:43.552
I didn't do it!

0:55:44.052,0:55:45.552
Maddy is a witness.

0:55:46.162,0:55:47.662
Awesome! Suspect identified!

0:55:47.662,0:55:47.952
.

0:55:47.952,0:55:48.252
.

0:55:57.002,0:55:58.802
We can't leave until the morning

0:55:58.802,0:55:59.062
.

0:56:00.272,0:56:01.992
We have to give the police a witness statement, Maddy.

0:56:02.212,0:56:03.492
I don't want to......

0:56:03.542,0:56:04.342
I know darling.......

0:56:04.432,0:56:09.602
I'll take you home as soon as I can. It's just you are the only one who saw Ryan started the fire.

0:56:09.612,0:56:11.612
I think the police is trying to contact his parents now.

0:56:11.612,0:56:13.182
His mom works abroad.

0:56:13.182,0:56:14.682
Well, she would better hurry and get back, because that boy is in big trouble.

0:56:40.882,0:56:44.682
Don't,Jed! I don't want you to come.

0:56:44.972,0:56:47.932
I'm taking over now, you've done enough damage.

0:57:10.312,0:57:14.472
I understand you have no contact details where either Ryan go to his parents?

0:57:14.802,0:57:16.262
Ryan's father will be in touch.

0:57:16.722,0:57:20.732
Well.......until he does, childprotecting services has a duty to look after him.

0:57:20.892,0:57:23.407
But he is school's responsability during term time.

0:57:23.562,0:57:26.570
So you are happy to take the responsability for Ryan if he did start the fire.

0:57:26.722,0:57:29.872
Oh.....I don't know......I mean we've never had this sort of things before

0:57:29.872,0:57:31.342
Oh, come on......

0:57:31.342,0:57:34.302
This is the do-as-you-like-school for difficult children, isn't it?

0:57:35.472,0:57:38.922
This is a democratic school for all kids.

0:57:40.422,0:57:46.602
The community will listen to what Ryan's got to say in the meeting and then we'll make a descision on what to do for the best.

0:57:46.862,0:57:48.062
I don't think you understand........

0:57:48.852,0:57:53.478
If Ryan is charged with deliberetaly starting a fire I will be removing him from school today.

0:57:55.092,0:57:58.726
a bunch of kids chatting about, it won't save the day.

0:57:58.726,0:58:00.416
Tell you what, it often does.

0:58:00.424,0:58:01.924
Sorry?

0:58:01.972,0:58:04.972
You'd be amazed by what happenes when you are trusting kids and their instincts.

0:58:05.942,0:58:07.442
Sally....yeah?

0:58:07.762,0:58:11.262
If you believe everything you've read about us, why don't you come to the meeting?

0:58:18.812,0:58:21.812
I'll discuss your request with sergant Bill.

0:58:33.502,0:58:36.342
Zoe, I didn't do it.

0:58:37.162,0:58:38.662
Hey.....trust them.

0:58:43.272,0:58:46.822
Quiet!This is another special meeting. We've got to talk about the fire.

0:58:47.022,0:58:49.522
First,we need to vote on a few people.

0:58:50.492,0:58:53.392
Hang on....where is Maddy??

0:58:53.922,0:58:55.122
I'll go find her.

0:58:57.332,0:58:58.832
I'd like to propose some other comes in as well.

0:59:00.012,0:59:01.412
All those in favour of Maddy's mother attending!

0:59:02.662,0:59:03.432
Against!

0:59:03.882,0:59:04.642
That's carried!

0:59:07.282,0:59:10.582
Mrs Robins and sergant Bill would like to come in. On the favour that they can come in?

0:59:10.952,0:59:12.212
Against!

0:59:12.212,0:59:13.102
That's also carried.

0:59:19.622,0:59:22.302
You've been invited into the school meeting.

0:59:22.812,0:59:26.312
We'd very much apreciate if Maddy could tell us what happened.

0:59:26.522,0:59:29.592
No, there is no time, We are just waiting when the police will interview and then we are leaving

0:59:30.452,0:59:34.762
Ryan says he didn't do it and Maddy isn't telling the truth.

0:59:34.852,0:59:36.612
What??!

0:59:37.122,0:59:40.232
Maddy! Would you got those things out of your ears!

0:59:55.332,0:59:58.832
Alright! We've got to get on, because this is really serious.

0:59:59.242,1:00:04.892
Like... hugely serious! Ryan could have killed Will and Peter. - Mary, let me chair this!

1:00:05.422,1:00:12.545
Ryan is in big trouble and he says he didn't start the fire. Maddy says she saw him. Can you tell the meeting what you saw, Maddy?

1:00:18.205,1:00:27.305
I finished making my op for the sign-up board and I was just hanging around and I saw Ryan pouring the tin of varnish on the camp fire.

1:00:29.612,1:00:33.162
She's lying, Peter! It wasn't me! I never do anything like that!

1:00:33.502,1:00:35.362
Is this because of the money?

1:00:35.362,1:00:37.602
What money? What is he talking about?

1:00:39.542,1:00:40.402
Really!

1:00:40.532,1:00:43.302
The meeting fined Ryan for stealing 20 pounds from Maddy.

1:00:43.462,1:00:45.962
It's another thing you didn't tell me about

1:00:46.742,1:00:49.212
I don't know if the community can cope with Ryan.

1:00:49.332,1:00:51.552
I agree, it's not just Peter's boat that got burned.

1:00:51.552,1:00:53.402
What about the workshop?

1:00:53.462,1:00:55.922
I propose we send Ryan home for good.

1:00:56.202,1:00:59.772
Hold up! Before we string him up, let's get Ryan a chance to say something.

1:01:03.882,1:01:05.152
I never did it!

1:01:05.532,1:01:07.032
I wasn't even there!

1:01:07.272,1:01:10.172
I was sorting out my rabbit hutch, near Len's caravan

1:01:10.244,1:01:13.402
I was listening to those inspectors going on about the school or something.

1:01:17.162,1:01:18.612
And I'd seen flames.

1:01:18.612,1:01:20.092
So I ran and knocked on Len's door

1:01:22.562,1:01:23.662
That's it!

1:01:24.002,1:01:25.502
Honest!

1:01:26.082,1:01:29.102
OK! I admit it! I stole the money

1:01:29.352,1:01:30.852
Alright!

1:01:31.102,1:01:32.602
I'm sorry!

1:01:32.852,1:01:35.102
I nick stuff, but I don't start fires!

1:01:35.282,1:01:37.582
You got to believe I didn't do it!

1:01:40.152,1:01:43.192
OK! Ryan is saying one thing and Maddy is saying another

1:01:43.292,1:01:45.352
I don't know who to believe now.

1:01:45.402,1:01:48.052
I believe Maddy. Ryan is always in trouble.

1:01:48.052,1:01:51.032
I think he should go home for the rest of the term.

1:01:51.322,1:01:53.322
But we don't definitely know he did it, Minh.

1:01:53.322,1:01:54.892
There is no evidence!

1:01:55.082,1:01:57.442
We don't know if Ryan started the fire or not

1:01:57.552,1:02:00.322
But if he did he is in serious trouble anyway.

1:02:00.362,1:02:02.012
If the fire is deliberate... yes!

1:02:02.022,1:02:05.282
I mean that Summerhill is subject to the law of the land like everywhere else

1:02:05.282,1:02:07.122
and after this meeting the police take over

1:02:07.122,1:02:09.622
If the police decide that Ryan did it, what will happen to him?

1:02:09.622,1:02:11.712
He will become a looked after child.

1:02:11.712,1:02:13.212
But Matt is already looking after him?

1:02:13.212,1:02:16.252
No, it means that he will be taken away from here.

1:02:16.252,1:02:18.002
You see that lady over there?

1:02:18.002,1:02:19.502
She is a social worker

1:02:19.502,1:02:21.302
She will take him into care.

1:02:21.352,1:02:22.842
But why can't he just go home?

1:02:22.842,1:02:24.562
What about his mum and dad?

1:02:24.562,1:02:28.962
Ryan's mum is not around at the moment and we are not sure where his dad is.

1:02:29.162,1:02:30.222
Maddy?

1:02:31.666,1:02:33.666
I lied.

1:02:33.666,1:02:35.166
It was me.

1:02:35.166,1:02:37.666
What are you talking about? Sit down! -No mum, let me talk!

1:02:40.642,1:02:46.052
I wanted to burn my form on the campfire but it wasn't catching

1:02:46.082,1:02:48.732
so I threw the tin of varnish on

1:02:50.372,1:02:52.922
I never meant to burn the workshop down.

1:02:52.922,1:02:55.042
She is not herself, she had a shock.

1:02:55.042,1:02:58.002
No, mum... I have to say something.

1:03:00.212,1:03:03.092
Before I came here I was really badly stressed and

1:03:03.942,1:03:07.612
I still can't do with writing and test and stuff.

1:03:08.452,1:03:10.302
But this place is just so cool

1:03:10.482,1:03:14.232
and I got my head around going to the lessons I just wanted to go to.

1:03:14.752,1:03:18.302
I was feeling good about myself for the forst time in ages

1:03:19.642,1:03:21.062
Until you turned up!

1:03:21.292,1:03:22.302
Maddy!

1:03:22.452,1:03:24.922
That's why I wanted to burn my form

1:03:24.922,1:03:27.302
because I knew I wouldn't need it anymore

1:03:27.862,1:03:31.162
Mum told me she was taking me away from Summerhill and

1:03:31.202,1:03:32.502
I just lost it!

1:03:32.502,1:03:34.302
I just lost it completely

1:03:34.672,1:03:36.682
cause I am desperate to stay.

1:03:37.812,1:03:39.412
I am sorry I lied.

1:03:40.852,1:03:43.562
And Peter, I am sorry about your arm!

1:03:44.892,1:03:46.052
And your boat!

1:04:06.832,1:04:08.512
That was very brave of you, Maddy!

1:04:08.512,1:04:09.572
That was very brave, Maddy!

1:04:10.072,1:04:10.322
... And after this meeting will take on the police.

1:04:10.322,1:04:11.942
But it doesn't bring back Peters's boat.

1:04:13.113,1:04:15.672
And Maddy did try to put the blame on Ryan.

1:04:16.232,1:04:18.182
We need to fine you, Maddy!

1:04:18.182,1:04:19.682
There is no point

1:04:19.932,1:04:23.062
Unless we know that Maddy's mum is going to let Maddy stay.

1:04:41.402,1:04:43.262
You are very lucky, Maddy!

1:04:43.262,1:04:45.052
The police aren't taking it any further.

1:04:45.052,1:04:46.592
What about Ryan?

1:04:46.592,1:04:49.222
Well, they are still not sure what will happen at the end of term

1:04:49.222,1:04:50.872
if his father doesn't turn up

1:04:50.872,1:04:52.612
but Ryan can stay for now.

1:04:53.882,1:04:55.072
Are you ready to go?

1:04:55.072,1:04:56.142
I want to stay!

1:04:56.142,1:04:58.112
No, you're coming home with me!

1:04:58.112,1:05:01.612
They want to give me a chance, mum.... Unlike you.

1:05:01.612,1:05:04.692
Maddy! I give you lots of chances.

1:05:04.792,1:05:08.052
I work so hard to give you a good life.

1:05:08.282,1:05:11.192
And I got one.. here! You and dad sent me to Summerhill

1:05:11.222,1:05:12.702
Good decision!

1:05:13.592,1:05:15.092
Now let me stay!

1:05:16.272,1:05:18.062
I don't know if I can do that.

1:05:18.362,1:05:21.284
They are going to give me a fine. Let me work it out!

1:05:21.284,1:05:23.314
I got to make it up to them.

1:05:23.314,1:05:25.284
I want to do the right thing, mum.

1:05:27.542,1:05:29.542
Just until the end of term.

1:05:29.542,1:05:31.042
Mum, please!

1:05:34.272,1:05:35.422
I am not sure.

1:05:35.422,1:05:39.382
You're not sure... but I am sure. Let me decide something for myself.

1:05:40.332,1:05:44.532
Even if it's just this once. Then I'll never ask you for anything ever again.

1:05:44.582,1:05:47.922
And I'll do everything you say. I promise, across my heart.

1:05:55.137,1:05:57.677
Alright Maddy, you can stay!

1:05:59.487,1:06:01.307
Only until the end of term.

1:06:04.522,1:06:06.522
Thanks mum!

1:06:06.522,1:06:08.202
This means so much to me.

1:06:08.542,1:06:10.252
Just look after yourself!

1:06:10.252,1:06:13.131
I will. You too, mum.

1:06:33.471,1:06:34.872
Maddy!

1:06:35.932,1:06:37.232
I said sorry!

1:06:37.642,1:06:39.602
You lost something.

1:07:14.751,1:07:16.251
They will impose my fine.

1:07:16.251,1:07:17.551
Leave me to fight.

1:07:17.551,1:07:18.851
I must repay them.

1:07:18.851,1:07:20.651
I want to do the right thing mom!

1:07:20.651,1:07:22.351
Mandy did not ... I ...

1:07:22.351,1:07:23.851
Only by the end of the four months since.

1:07:23.851,1:07:25.351
Mom, please.

1:07:28.702,1:07:29.702
I am not sure.

1:07:29.851,1:07:30.952
You are not sure ...

1:07:31.002,1:07:32.101
... But I'm sure!

1:07:32.351,1:07:34.052
Let me decide something for myself.

1:07:34.302,1:07:36.302
Even if it is only for this time.

1:07:36.552,1:07:39.052
After not more sought you anything again.

1:07:39.302,1:07:40.802
And I will do what I tell you.

1:07:41.052,1:07:43.052
I promise!

1:07:43.302,1:07:44.802
Mama;

1:07:49.552,1:07:51.151
Okay Mandy ...

1:07:51.302,1:07:53.101
... You can not stay.

1:07:53.952,1:07:55.952
Only by the end of four months, okay?

1:07:59.002,1:08:00.802
Thanks mom!

1:08:01.052,1:08:02.851
This means too much to me.

1:08:03.101,1:08:04.601
Just take care of yourself.

1:08:04.851,1:08:05.952
I'll be careful...

1:08:06.202,1:08:07.702
... And you in the same mom.

1:08:07.952,1:08:10.252
And tell Dad that I miss.

1:08:27.602,1:08:29.102
Mandy.

1:08:29.952,1:08:31.452
I apologized.

1:08:43.232,1:08:47.212
Summerhill teaches children how to manage themselves.

1:08:47.452,1:08:55.502
To manage their minds,their bodies, their relationships, their emotions, gives them an owner's manual for life!

1:08:57.862,1:08:59.862
I'm sorry but we just can't measure that.

1:09:06.472,1:09:08.792
Is this what you wanted to do when you were a child?

1:09:26.688,1:09:30.233
I don't wanna Summerhill to be closed down.

1:09:30.402,1:09:33.102
I know, neither do I, that's why we've got Mark here.

1:09:36.012,1:09:39.942
Hello, I am Mark! I'm a silicitor, a specialist in human rights.

1:09:41.402,1:09:42.282
They asked me to come down and talk to you.

1:09:42.652,1:09:43.212
Why?

1:09:45.352,1:09:46.652
We could take the goverment to court.

1:09:47.602,1:09:49.752
That's madness, isn't? no?

1:09:50.252,1:09:52.452
Is it? Will be affair of fight.

1:09:52.702,1:09:58.152
A Judge would help their side if the inspectors are right and the school is rubbish.

1:09:59.102,1:10:01.932
Or you are right and the school is just different.

1:10:02.752,1:10:05.592
But how can we afford to go to court?

1:10:05.812,1:10:08.202
We can't even afford to do this in a school bus.

1:10:08.812,1:10:11.690
You'd need to rise at least a hundred thousand pounds to prepeare for the case.

1:10:11.690,1:10:14.782
A hundred southand puonds!-Is it how much you cost??

1:10:14.982,1:10:21.352
No,no but...we need a good barrister to fight at the court and they cost a lot of money.

1:10:22.612,1:10:24.132
We just have to raise the money.

1:10:25.502,1:10:28.112
If thats soon Summerhill can stay opened.

1:10:31.132,1:10:32.632
Well, we could negotiate with teh goverment couldn't we?

1:10:34.452,1:10:35.432
We've got to stay true to who we are!

1:10:35.852,1:10:36.572
Yeah!!!

1:10:39.002,1:10:45.652
Maddy!- I think the inspectors are just bullies. And we have to do a deal with bullies, stand up to them.

1:10:50.552,1:10:51.622
What do you think, Zoe?

1:10:53.962,1:10:56.962
Well,dad would want us to stand up for what we're beliving.

1:10:57.517,1:10:58.517
Shell we take a vote?!

1:11:00.102,1:11:02.402
All those in a favour of taking a goverment to court?

1:11:04.922,1:11:06.422
Against!

1:11:06.832,1:11:10.472
It's carried! Summerhill is gonna stand up to the inspectors

1:11:22.972,1:11:27.262
I know how can we raise the money!We can write letter to people who lived in Summerhill who now lives brilliant lives!

1:11:27.262,1:11:27.982
That's a great idea!

1:11:27.982,1:11:31.532
And gether them to tell what they think of the school. We can use that as evidence in court.

1:11:42.512,1:11:43.512
I found an idea.

1:11:43.602,1:11:44.502
We can get bags from the supermarket!

1:11:44.552,1:11:46.192
Smashing!

1:11:46.522,1:11:47.522
No, the eggs have to go on top!

1:12:02.622,1:12:03.857
um......I can always spot a winner!

1:12:04.857,1:12:05.857
You'd better be right!

1:12:06.527,1:12:07.527
We've to raise a huge amount of money.

1:14:01.152,1:14:03.852
You need to gather a huge amount.

1:14:12.222,1:14:14.222
Wait a second! we've enough to properly go challenge! we've done it!!! Yeah!

1:14:34.432,1:14:37.532
We have done it,buddy! ok!

1:14:59.552,1:15:01.552
oh,dad......what if we lose......

1:15:33.582,1:15:36.332
Mark! You are in very early! Have you prepeared

1:15:46.072,1:15:49.072
The children would have to vote.

1:15:49.302,1:15:51.802
Oh,yes.....the famose children democracy....

1:16:05.832,1:16:08.332
Oh,no,Mark.....don't tell me you've got to represent them yourself.....

1:16:10.632,1:16:12.132
Well...... - you've got no money!

1:16:30.592,1:16:33.092
Save our school! save our school!

1:16:42.282,1:16:46.012
I wish you were coming to - So do I, Maddy! Good luck!

1:16:46.752,1:16:52.452
This place is everything to me....you go and win for us!

1:17:44.612,1:17:50.472
Summerhill, the contravercial school founded by A.S.Neil takes it's fight to the High Court today.

1:17:51.562,1:17:56.322
A school where pupils can spend all day playing ,has been slammed by education chefs

1:17:56.572,1:18:00.072
As giving children such a poor education, they shold be closed.

1:18:26.942,1:18:29.122
I'm Fill, Jad, our daughter Maddy goes there.

1:18:30.532,1:18:36.102
She persuaded me to take the compaign. She is a great girl you must be really proud of her.

1:19:29.212,1:19:31.112
All rise!

1:19:34.742,1:19:36.512
Where is Summerhill.....

1:19:36.542,1:19:38.742
Bye bye Summerhill......

1:20:08.532,1:20:11.532
Miss James, perhaps you'd like to begin.

1:20:13.812,1:20:16.502
A secretary of State of Educations vs Summerhill

1:20:23.592,1:20:26.092
We haven't got an hour......

1:20:28.612,1:20:30.312
I might be able to help......- Ryan?

1:20:55.962,1:20:58.062
Alright! try it now!

1:21:05.462,1:21:10.082
Your honor I eppeare for the secretary of State of Education

1:21:10.722,1:21:12.802
The office of standarts in education

1:21:13.612,1:21:15.612
And her medjestice Inspectorate

1:21:42.582,1:21:44.582
Personally, I think it's an enormose waste of time and money to bring the case to court and then fail to show up.

1:21:55.512,1:21:56.512
Save our school! save our school!

1:22:05.712,1:22:09.312
Save our school! save our school!

1:22:24.612,1:22:26.652
We are all here yet? - Well, I'm not sure Your Honor....

1:22:38.682,1:22:41.682
I knoq who she is....She is the enmy, she is Hook! Captain Hook!

1:22:55.112,1:22:59.542
Who is that?- That is Jefrey Robinson, one of the best lawers money can buy.

1:22:59.542,1:23:01.572
How could the School afford him???

1:23:42.502,1:23:49.102
The Secretary of State is fully aware of the huge influence of A.S Neil and his school on the world of education.

1:23:51.312,1:23:53.812
The Goverment is concerned only with the children

1:23:54.262,1:23:55.862
And how well they are being tought.

1:23:57.962,1:24:01.172
Now, in a case of Summerhill this is very inefficiently indeed.

1:24:02.052,1:24:04.662
The root of the problem is non-attendence of lessons.

1:24:06.172,1:24:09.422
And this is because the Summerhill doesn't follow the national curriculum.

1:24:09.562,1:24:14.062
Oh,no....they have their own!The "cop-out" curriculum

1:24:14.222,1:24:15.982
Cop-out curriculum? like it!

1:24:16.322,1:24:21.902
Over the years the school has taken their founder's phylosophy of freedom.

1:24:23.112,1:24:27.582
And used it as an excuse to be idol

1:24:43.242,1:24:45.242
Now is our turn to say what the inspectors are wrong about

1:24:46.832,1:24:53.582
If there is anyone from the Department of Education who has ever actually been a child

1:24:55.552,1:24:58.362
Perhaps you all were born fully adults

1:24:58.612,1:25:01.112
Complete with clipboards.....

1:25:15.742,1:25:18.242
adjection Your Honor!

1:25:21.982,1:25:27.982
Neil didn't believe in forcing children to sit in classrooms they didn't want to be in and taking exams

1:25:30.282,1:25:33.882
He wanted them to grow up with a sense of emotional wellbeing

1:25:37.012,1:25:38.512
He gave them a voice

1:25:38.762,1:25:40.782
A voice is still being heard today

1:25:54.112,1:25:57.962
A democracy that still going strong during 79 years later

1:26:38.422,1:26:39.722
look at the Summerhill

1:26:45.712,1:26:52.290
Actress,artist,doctor,culturist.engeneer,research chemist,professoe of mathematics, nurse,charity director,dancer.

1:26:53.781,1:27:02.241
The only significant occupation isn't represented (and this may come as a great credit for the school)are politicians and schools inspectors.

1:27:07.512,1:27:14.222
We do not sit to suggest that Summerhill suits everyone,but it does suit the great majority of children who goes there.

1:27:14.862,1:27:17.862
I would like to start, Mr President saying that the Ministry of Education ...

1:27:18.112,1:27:21.912
Surely, by any intelligent educational system Summerhill would be regarded as a....well, let's say a unique educational establishment.

1:27:24.112,1:27:25.822
Sadly OFSTED isn't being intelligent.....

1:27:26.792,1:27:32.372
And to conclude, your Honor, I'd like to suggest that it is not Summerhill that is failing, it's OFSTED itself....

1:27:34.842,1:27:37.122
Hook is planning something......look!

1:28:00.312,1:28:02.612
I swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

1:28:05.712,1:28:07.152
Inspector Warten.

1:28:07.762,1:28:12.990
Would you say that the teachers in Summerhill are failing in their teaching responsability?

1:28:14.212,1:28:16.712
I wouldn't use the word "failing"..you know.....

1:28:19.462,1:28:22.462
But children with special need are, as a matter of principle,being overlook?

1:28:24.912,1:28:28.736
Yes,one boy with dislexia was clearly struggling with his reading and writing.

1:28:28.736,1:28:31.057
His teacher nearly typed his word for him.

1:28:32.372,1:28:35.172
Hook is talking about me.

1:28:36.402,1:28:39.702
Dislexic children need specialist , your Honor

1:28:41.512,1:28:45.312
We wanted to make sure that Peter will feel succesful in front of his classmates.

1:28:47.202,1:28:50.352
So, the children are allowed to drift and fall behind

1:28:50.422,1:28:55.282
In fact, these children are rather discouraged from attending lessons.

1:28:55.282,1:28:56.896
Is that your view?

1:28:59.762,1:29:01.562
She is playing duel....she is twisting everything thriugh her argument.

1:29:01.562,1:29:02.812
That's her job,

1:29:04.302,1:29:07.282
Well, with the attitude like this, is it any wonder that the childer do as they pleased.....

1:29:10.092,1:29:13.982
There is another instance where one boy attacted another boy

1:29:14.282,1:29:17.978
An incident where not one single member of stuff interviing

1:29:18.248,1:29:20.588
.

1:29:20.602,1:29:21.542
Zoe,please......

1:29:22.702,1:29:24.981
How many more incidents like this happen every day, your Honor?

1:29:25.336,1:29:26.336
I object!

1:29:27.374,1:29:28.374
Go on,Miss James.

1:29:28.782,1:29:33.112
I'll ask you......Is this freedom or an abrigation of responsability?

1:29:33.112,1:29:35.612
On a part of the teaching stuff at Summerhill.

1:29:37.255,1:29:41.175
And then ofcourse, there is the matter of the fire........

1:29:41.542,1:29:42.072
fire.......

1:29:42.202,1:29:44.202
Why wasn't I told about this??

1:29:44.342,1:29:46.902
You knew the fire was an accident!

1:29:57.112,1:29:59.642
Order,please!

1:30:00.862,1:30:01.532
Zoe,please.....-But how can we.......

1:30:08.202,1:30:09.978
Yes, but Summerhill was TBW anyway......

1:30:10.612,1:30:12.282
TBW?

1:30:12.882,1:30:15.882
TBW....I've heard it somewhere before......

1:30:17.542,1:30:20.422
It's OFTER's.....mjust meaning the school was giving us couse for concern.

1:30:23.862,1:30:26.962
Your Honor, may I suggest a break?

1:30:28.192,1:30:29.892
Ah.....we will resume it.

1:30:39.972,1:30:42.032
The fire was an accident....

1:30:42.032,1:30:43.963
That stupid fight.......

1:30:44.102,1:30:45.902
I can read much better now......

1:30:50.812,1:30:52.292
Hello,Ryan,Peter....did the rabbit....?

1:30:52.292,1:30:54.292
Make it! You should see him now! He is huge!

1:30:55.022,1:30:56.372
I'm so pleased.......

1:31:08.802,1:31:11.602
Look.....Summerhill is on the TBW list, it has been for years....

1:31:12.781,1:31:14.311
Where are you going?

1:31:14.682,1:31:18.002
I'm going back in....I need to tell something about Smith.

1:31:19.012,1:31:20.692
I'm coming with you!

1:31:20.762,1:31:21.672
Me too!

1:31:31.262,1:31:33.262
Why are you trying my petience, Mr. Robinson?

1:31:35.507,1:31:36.507
I appologize, your Honor, but there is some important evidence, just came to hand.....

1:31:40.009,1:31:41.009
TBW......

1:31:41.870,1:31:42.870
I'm sorry......

1:31:43.562,1:31:44.592
TBW.....

1:31:46.157,1:31:48.967
Mr. Warten, would you be kind to enlighten us whta "TBW" stands for?

1:31:52.662,1:31:55.054
You mentioned earlier:"But Summerhill was TBW anyway......"

1:31:55.452,1:31:56.972
Well, what's that mean?

1:31:57.252,1:31:58.362
To be watched

1:31:59.937,1:32:02.107
I'm sorry, I can't hear you, could you speak up louder.

1:32:02.132,1:32:03.522
TO BE WATCHED!

1:32:05.862,1:32:08.372
to.....be.......watched.......

1:32:08.372,1:32:09.722
What's he chasing....?

1:32:09.722,1:32:14.562
Mr. Warden, did you had any point say to Summerhill the reason they have been inspected

1:32:14.865,1:32:19.325
because we're worried about the philosophy that pupil's aren't forced o go to lessons, because that's reality, isn't it?

1:32:19.325,1:32:23.955
The reality is that routine inspections were made because we were worried that the scool wasn't providing

1:32:24.562,1:32:26.882
officiant and suitable instructions ........

1:32:27.352,1:32:29.832
You've mentioned the word "routine"

1:32:29.852,1:32:32.752
so, what was happening at Summerhill wasn't a slightest beat routine, was it?

1:32:34.692,1:32:37.692
Because Summerhill was on goverment hate list

1:32:37.692,1:32:42.002
OFSTED had a school in it sight for the best part of decade. And in this year.....

1:32:42.002,1:32:44.002
You decided to jagular and shut it down.

1:32:45.242,1:32:46.442
I object,your Honor!

1:32:46.712,1:32:48.082
This is conjecture!

1:32:48.082,1:32:49.272
Please........

1:32:49.322,1:32:57.032
The school was TO BE WATCHED it was on a hate list for 9 years. Mr. Warton, why was the school not told about this?

1:32:57.032,1:32:58.452
I'm not sure.....

1:32:58.452,1:32:59.862
You aren't sure.....

1:32:59.862,1:33:04.362
But< I'm sure.....The answer is that because it was a secret.

1:33:04.602,1:33:05.622
Watch out!

1:33:07.002,1:33:10.706
Reference, your honor, is page 233 Summerhill to remain TBW

1:33:10.982,1:33:15.792
An internal OFSTED letter dated 199.......

1:33:20.482,1:33:21.482
three......

1:33:21.602,1:33:22.622
God........

1:33:23.002,1:33:26.968
Which means,your honor,that Summerhill was on a hate list way before 1993!

1:33:27.075,1:33:29.185
Your Honor it wasn't a hatelist!

1:33:32.562,1:33:36.476
Then fed up with endless year and year out inspections when to get the desired effect.

1:33:36.839,1:33:37.839
You're a conjecture

1:33:39.830,1:33:40.830
OFSTED came in a team of 8

1:33:48.252,1:33:49.062
Yes........

1:33:50.202,1:33:53.282
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

1:33:55.032,1:33:57.752
To close it down

1:33:59.882,1:34:00.952
Prove it!

1:34:01.532,1:34:03.032
Watch me!

1:34:15.562,1:34:18.362
.

1:34:19.312,1:34:21.612
I agree. It would have been desireable.

1:34:21.862,1:34:27.568
Mr.Walton be honest.....OFSTED wanted to close The Summerhill down, you decided on a game of sudden death.

1:34:28.322,1:34:29.922
I'm not sure I follow

1:34:33.562,1:34:41.472
Are you forcing Summerhill to do something they would never agree to, making lessons compulsory in order you strike it from the regoster of schools.

1:34:45.162,1:34:50.442
Submit your Honor that this is what you had in mind from the moment you said put the school, this was a game in hand.

1:34:59.562,1:35:04.062
Listen, the Summerhill School is in the PP list years.

1:35:05.312,1:35:06.312
Where are you going;

1:35:06.562,1:35:10.062
I'm going back inside. I have to say something to the Pan about me.

1:35:10.312,1:35:13.312
- Tactical advantage ... I'm coming with you! - And I!

1:35:21.962,1:35:24.462
You try my patience, Mr. Robertson?

1:35:24.712,1:35:29.212
Sorry Mr. President, but some important information came to our attention.

1:35:31.662,1:35:32.562
PP

1:35:33.712,1:35:34.812
Sorry;

1:35:35.362,1:35:36.562
PP .;

1:35:37.212,1:35:41.512
Mr Gouornten will you kindly enlighten us about what PP .;

1:35:41.762,1:35:46.262
You mentioned earlier "... the Summerhill School is anyway PP"

1:35:46.812,1:35:48.312
So what does it mean?

1:35:48.562,1:35:50.062
to Watch

1:35:51.012,1:35:54.012
Sorry, I did not hear you, you speak louder?

1:35:54.262,1:35:55.762
To monitor.

1:35:56.012,1:36:00.012
To follow ...

1:36:00.262,1:36:01.762
Where is he going?

1:36:02.012,1:36:04.012
Mr Gouornten said sometime in Summerhill School ...

1:36:04.262,1:36:05.762
... That the reason inspect your very ...

1:36:06.012,1:36:10.012
... It is because they are concerned with the philosophy of non-compulsory subjects, right?

1:36:10.862,1:36:13.062
The reality is that routine inspections were ...

1:36:13.312,1:36:15.812
... Because we were concerned that the school did not provide ...

1:36:16.062,1:36:18.762
Efficient and appropriate teaching, yes ...

1:36:19.512,1:36:21.512
Give the word routine.

1:36:21.762,1:36:24.962
But what happened with the Summerhill School had nothing to do with routine so?

1:36:26.812,1:36:29.012
Why Summerhill School was included in the Ministry of executing list.

1:36:29.262,1:36:31.762
The OFSTENT had school targeted for most of the decade ...

1:36:32.012,1:36:33.512
... And this year ...

1:36:33.762,1:36:35.262
... Decided to hit the heart ...

1:36:36.012,1:36:37.312
... And close it!

1:36:37.562,1:36:39.062
I object Mr. President! This is conjecture.

1:36:39.112,1:36:40.512
Robertson, please.

1:36:40.762,1:36:44.262
The school was to follow was an execution list for nine years.

1:36:44.812,1:36:48.312
Mr Gouornten because the school was not informed about it?

1:36:48.562,1:36:50.062
I'm not sure.

1:36:50.312,1:36:53.312
You're not sure. Fortunately I am though.

1:36:53.562,1:36:55.162
The answer is because it was secret.

1:36:55.212,1:36:56.412
A secret!

1:36:56.362,1:36:57.762
Watch out!

1:36:59.012,1:37:01.812
The reference, Mr. President, on page 233.

1:37:02.062,1:37:04.062
"The Summerhill School remain PP"

1:37:04.712,1:37:08.612
An internal letter dated OFSTENT nine hundred ninety ...

1:37:11.762,1:37:13.762
...three. - On guard!

1:37:14.012,1:37:18.312
This means that the Summerhill School was in execution list well before 1993.

1:37:18.762,1:37:20.962
Mr President, it was not the execution list.

1:37:22.712,1:37:28.012
And then, having bored consecutive years of inspections without the desired effect ...

1:37:28.262,1:37:29.762
Clear guess.

1:37:30.912,1:37:32.912
The OFSTENT sent a team of eight.

1:37:39.862,1:37:40.862
Yes...

1:37:41.112,1:37:45.612
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight ...

1:37:46.962,1:37:49.662
This makes us one inspector for every seven students of the school ...

1:37:49.912,1:37:51.412
... In order to shut it down.

1:37:51.662,1:37:52.962
Prove it!

1:37:53.212,1:37:54.712
Look at me!

1:38:04.862,1:38:09.862
Of course the school has a fundamental right to know why subject to such monitoring levels?

1:38:10.112,1:38:12.112
Agree, it would be desirable.

1:38:12.362,1:38:13.862
Mr Gouornten frankly talk.

1:38:14.112,1:38:15.912
The OFSTENT wanted to close Summerhill School ...

1:38:16.162,1:38:18.962
... And you chose the tactics of sudden death, is not it?

1:38:19.712,1:38:21.712
I do not think watching you.

1:38:25.762,1:38:28.762
Forcing the Summerhill School to do something that you knew would never agree.

1:38:29.012,1:38:30.512
Doing the required courses.

1:38:30.762,1:38:33.262
Believed that they will disappear from the files.

1:38:33.512,1:38:35.712
I commend Mr. President, if I may ...

1:38:35.962,1:38:39.162
... That what you had in mind from the moment you set foot in school.

1:38:39.412,1:38:42.412
This ... was your game.

1:38:43.762,1:38:46.262
My dear friend takes them all out of his mind!

1:38:46.612,1:38:49.612
indeed? Who sees what his mind?

1:39:13.562,1:39:16.062
Mr President, I need to consult!

1:39:16.312,1:39:18.312
The court cut off for an hour.

1:39:24.862,1:39:26.362
- Give me that. - Give it to me...

1:39:26.612,1:39:28.112
Page 24 I'm sure ...

1:39:34.762,1:39:36.862
Geoffrey ...

1:39:37.512,1:39:42.512
The ministry decided that he wanted to reduce slightly the pressure in Summerhill School.

1:39:43.862,1:39:45.362
Want to indulge?

1:39:46.912,1:39:49.912
You give up just before you cut the head.

1:40:01.462,1:40:03.762
Sit down please.

1:40:12.112,1:40:13.112
Please Mrs. James.

1:40:13.362,1:40:16.562
The Ministry of Education offered the lady Rentchent a court settlement.

1:40:17.612,1:40:19.112
He was received?

1:40:20.962,1:40:24.462
Ms. Rentchent can not make this decision for the school.

1:40:24.712,1:40:28.712
The community must decide whether to accept him or continue the trial.

1:40:28.962,1:40:32.462
They need to recover here, if this is acceptable.

1:40:32.712,1:40:34.212
With all due respect Mr. President, I ...

1:40:34.462,1:40:35.962
Of course.

1:40:36.612,1:40:38.112
Thank you, Mr. President.

1:40:40.462,1:40:42.462
You will chair the meeting.

1:40:42.712,1:40:44.712
And you'll be the secretary.

1:40:46.062,1:40:47.762
So what now?

1:40:48.012,1:40:50.012
We are voting on whether to allow observers.

1:40:53.162,1:40:54.662
Excuse me sir.

1:40:55.212,1:40:58.012
Visitors are not allowed in our assemblies.

1:40:58.262,1:41:00.162
We must vote whether to allow their ...

1:41:00.612,1:41:02.612
... I say, stay.

1:41:03.062,1:41:04.062
This is ridiculous ...

1:41:04.112,1:41:06.612
Of course! Please.

1:41:12.262,1:41:13.762
Ante Stella.

1:41:37.012,1:41:38.512
Quiet!

1:41:41.562,1:41:44.562
There is a theme for the special assembly today.

1:41:44.812,1:41:48.812
But in principle I propose to allow observers to stay ...

1:41:49.062,1:41:50.762
... To see how we do things.

1:41:51.012,1:41:52.512
Who is in favor?

1:41:55.062,1:41:57.062
Who is?

1:41:57.812,1:41:59.312
Therefore passes.

1:41:59.562,1:42:01.262
You are all invited to stay.

1:42:03.412,1:42:04.912
Great!

1:42:06.262,1:42:07.262
Life.

1:42:07.512,1:42:09.512
What settlement says?

1:42:09.762,1:42:13.762
"The Ministry of Education recognizes that this independent school ...

1:42:14.012,1:42:17.012
... Based as it is written and the methods of AC Neil ...

1:42:17.262,1:42:19.562
... Has the right to philosophy. "

1:42:19.812,1:42:22.312
This is very important, because what it says ...

1:42:22.562,1:42:25.562
... That is not obliged to do things as the government wants.

1:42:25.812,1:42:28.812
But, inspectors will continue to come?

1:42:29.862,1:42:32.862
The OFSTENT required to get us from the list To Watch ...

1:42:33.212,1:42:35.112
... And then make regular inspections.

1:42:35.362,1:42:38.862
But when they will come in about four years ...

1:42:39.112,1:42:42.112
... They should be accompanied by a specialist in our type of training.

1:42:42.362,1:42:43.362
Ryan?

1:42:43.612,1:42:45.612
If we agree, we can choose our courses?

1:42:46.362,1:42:48.362
And not be forced to go at all?

1:42:48.612,1:42:51.912
"Freedom for children attend optional courses ...

1:42:52.162,1:42:54.862
... According to Neil philosophy, fully recognized. "

1:42:55.112,1:42:56.112
Yes!

1:42:56.362,1:42:58.162
Hey, quiet!

1:42:58.412,1:43:00.712
We are meeting! Ten cents fine Will!

1:43:02.462,1:43:04.362
So, the two proposals are:

1:43:04.612,1:43:06.112
To accept the compromise ...

1:43:06.362,1:43:09.362
... Or let Life, our specialists and around our world ...

1:43:09.612,1:43:13.612
... To show how we are great school and give the government it deserves.

1:43:14.962,1:43:16.262
And maybe lose.

1:43:16.512,1:43:18.212
This is Stella. You got it.

1:43:19.362,1:43:20.362
Lucy?

1:43:20.612,1:43:22.312
Life, what do you think?

1:43:22.562,1:43:24.562
I do not know Lucy, really do not know.

1:43:24.812,1:43:27.712
I think I will feel deceived if the opportunity is not given to me ...

1:43:27.862,1:43:30.162
... To defend the school against all these lies.

1:43:31.112,1:43:32.612
Let us fight to the end.

1:43:32.862,1:43:34.362
Yes!

1:43:34.612,1:43:37.612
A peace agreement is sometimes the best results ...

1:43:37.862,1:43:39.562
... If a war ends.

1:43:39.812,1:43:43.612
This agreement will make the Summerhill School school the most protected in the world.

1:43:44.462,1:43:46.762
It is a charter of freedom.

1:43:48.412,1:43:49.912
Other questions?

1:43:53.262,1:43:55.762
Who is to accept the arrangement proposed by the Government?

1:44:00.712,1:44:02.712
Who is?

1:44:04.962,1:44:06.462
Decided.

1:44:06.712,1:44:08.712
We accept the compromise of government.

1:44:11.362,1:44:12.662
Thank you...

1:44:12.912,1:44:15.012
... Mr and Mrs ...

1:44:15.262,1:44:18.562
... For allowing us the privilege of meeting your court.

1:44:18.812,1:44:21.812
Each other, it was an honor to allow us to track your assembly.

1:44:22.062,1:44:24.862
I think that you too you share the privilege given to you?

1:44:25.712,1:44:27.112
Thank you.

1:44:30.662,1:44:32.162
Thank you.

1:44:33.912,1:44:38.212
Mr President, I think you are to be finished.

1:44:42.762,1:44:47.262
This court formally cancels the extrajudicial protest against school Summerhill School.

1:45:01.912,1:45:04.412
Historic scenes played out in court today ...

1:45:04.662,1:45:06.662
... As Summerhill School school beats the government ...

1:45:06.912,1:45:11.912
... In a battle that can only be described as a "David vs. Goliath"!

1:45:13.162,1:45:15.662
Following this decision, it is safe to say ...

1:45:15.912,1:45:18.412
... That freedom and learning go hand in hand in Summerhill School.

1:45:18.662,1:45:20.662
It seems to me entirely appropriate.

1:45:20.912,1:45:24.912
The children of Summerhill School describe as the happiest school in the world.

1:45:25.162,1:45:26.862
And judging by the scenes here today ...

1:45:27.112,1:45:28.812
... Probably be right.

1:45:31.262,1:45:35.762
We have said from the beginning that we are not trying to close the Summerhill School, thanks.

1:45:59.612,1:46:01.712
You came to take me home, right?

1:46:01.962,1:46:04.462
Mandy, my problem with the Summerhill School ...

1:46:04.712,1:46:06.012
But mom ...

1:46:06.262,1:46:09.262
Mandy, my problem with the Summerhill School has more to do with me ...

1:46:09.512,1:46:11.012
... Than anything else ..

1:46:11.962,1:46:14.962
I like everything to be neat and organized ...

1:46:15.212,1:46:16.512
... I like lists and objectives.

1:46:16.762,1:46:18.562
I'm crazy about control!

1:46:20.112,1:46:23.312
Let's face it, it's like we have an inspector in the family.

1:46:25.762,1:46:28.062
The Summerhill School is ...

1:46:29.212,1:46:31.212
... And gold ...

1:46:31.462,1:46:33.962
... Bright, cheerful ...

1:46:35.312,1:46:37.812
... Relaxed, has nothing to do with me.

1:46:41.762,1:46:43.062
I make my impression that you love so much.

1:46:43.312,1:46:44.812
No, I do not mind ...

1:46:46.662,1:46:48.662
... I know what I am.

1:46:51.912,1:46:54.912
But you do not know who you are yet.

1:46:57.162,1:46:59.162
Come back at Summerhill School and ...

1:47:02.212,1:47:04.212
... Discovered.

1:47:04.462,1:47:07.262
I love Mandy.

1:47:08.212,1:47:11.012
Just not easy for me to show you the.

1:47:11.262,1:47:12.762
Oh, mom ...

1:47:13.012,1:47:14.512
Once you have done.

1:47:17.162,1:47:18.762
Boo!

1:47:34.012,1:47:35.512
I stay Ryan!

1:47:35.762,1:47:38.762
And I will return the next four months, no need to leave!

1:47:39.812,1:47:41.812
Ryan? What happens;

1:47:42.662,1:47:45.062
Nobody can find my dad.

1:47:45.312,1:47:47.612
Social workers come tomorrow for me.

1:47:47.862,1:47:49.662
And what will happen in the next quarter?

1:47:51.312,1:47:53.712
I will not be at school, they would have been in care.

1:47:54.462,1:47:55.962
I do not want you to leave.

1:47:56.412,1:47:58.412
Neither do I want it Mandy.

1:48:13.962,1:48:15.962
Mark to come here.

1:48:16.212,1:48:18.712
I want you to meet our new teacher science.

1:48:18.962,1:48:21.762
And I believe that will adopt them!

1:48:22.912,1:48:23.912
Myrtle.

1:48:24.162,1:48:25.962
The Myrtle undertakes after Emma.

1:48:26.212,1:48:27.712
But this is amazing!

1:48:27.962,1:48:31.962
I intend to stay here until they do not distinguish me from my plutonium.

1:48:33.412,1:48:34.912
Just kidding of course!

1:48:36.212,1:48:37.312
Come!

1:49:00.162,1:49:03.462
Three, two, one ... go!

1:49:10.212,1:49:12.212
Well done my boy.

1:49:21.862,1:49:23.262
There will be at launch?

1:49:23.512,1:49:25.012
Just Feed the Dino.

1:49:26.062,1:49:28.362
Ryan, someone has come to see you.

1:49:30.412,1:49:31.412
Hello!

1:49:31.662,1:49:33.662
Dad! Where were you;

1:49:33.812,1:49:35.212
I lost my job in the garage.

1:49:35.462,1:49:36.962
It appeared an opportunity in Dubai.

1:49:37.912,1:49:39.112
You have to see this place!

1:49:39.262,1:49:40.362
I had to call you!

1:49:40.612,1:49:43.312
But you said it would be better to leave it to you for four months.

1:49:43.562,1:49:45.062
I think you got a little literally.

1:49:46.212,1:49:48.412
And what happened to the house? Sell!

1:49:48.662,1:49:51.162
Had Ryan was part of the plan.

1:49:51.412,1:49:52.912
What silly plan was that?

1:49:53.162,1:49:54.662
You like Ryan here?

1:49:54.912,1:49:56.412
I adore it.

1:49:59.462,1:50:00.962
Tuition Ryan.

1:50:01.212,1:50:02.712
I am sorry for the delay.

1:50:04.962,1:50:06.762
I think you made a mistake.

1:50:07.012,1:50:10.312
The Secretariat told me that if I want to pay five years in advance so it costs.

1:50:10.562,1:50:12.062
Five years;

1:50:12.312,1:50:14.012
I mean I can stay here until I was sixteen?

1:50:14.262,1:50:15.762
If they want to.

1:50:16.012,1:50:18.012
It has caused any trouble?

1:50:18.862,1:50:20.562
At all.

1:50:21.412,1:50:22.912
It's okay then my son?

1:50:23.162,1:50:25.862
Yes Dad, it's okay.

1:50:30.312,1:50:33.012
Now ... where is this barbecue?

1:50:33.262,1:50:37.762
So hungry that I can eat an entire horse in two layers!

1:50:50.712,1:50:51.712
Ready?

1:50:51.962,1:50:53.462
Where is Ryan?

1:50:56.012,1:50:57.212
We have to take!

1:50:57.462,1:50:58.962
- Mandy!

1:51:01.512,1:51:03.012
Ok, let's go!

1:51:14.262,1:51:15.762
Raise the sail!

1:51:19.012,1:51:21.012
