Qualities of teachers are important: understanding is one of
these qualities. This is as true in the local comprehensive
as it is at Summerhill. However, when a school has a unique
philosophy the teacher must make an extra effort to
understand. This is the first of a series on qualities of
teachers in democratic education. In it I want to talk about
some of the qualities of understanding that good democratic school
teachers should have.
