"A Dominie's Log" by Alexander Sutherland Neill is a diary written during 1914-15, documenting his first year as headteacher at Gretna Green Village School. Neill transforms a rigid, punishment-driven classroom into one centered on happiness, play, and student autonomy. He treats children as human beings, joining their games and respecting their individuality. Through daily reflections, he connects school life to broader political and cultural issues, challenging the authority of teachers and advocating for children's rights in a society that denies them voice and power.
