“让学校适应孩子，而不是让孩子适应学校”，这是夏山学校百年的教育主旨。在这所学校里，孩子们可以真正做自己，穿自己想穿的衣服，不受管教和压制，也不会被强迫上课。然而，在夏山几乎没有孩子逃学，也很少有孩子想家，每个孩子都能独立自主地生活。

　　夏山学校是《窗边的小豆豆》中“巴学园”的原型，被世界各地的家长和老师誉为“极富人性化的快乐学校”“因材施教的典范”。这所学校的创始人A.S尼尔因践行自由教育的理念而名声大振。在本书中，他通过大量鲜活生动的案例，直击孩子说谎、自卑、哭闹、不遵守规则、缺乏学习动力等典型问题，为父母找到行之有效的教育方式，解开种种教育难题，唤醒孩子的自驱力，养出自尊、自律、自强的孩子。
