Both of your links look like questionable ones, according to wikipedia. Democratic education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article appears to be written like an advertisement. (October 2012)
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: 50-100 revision before the page doesn't look that bad, dunno what happend or what, this article is now advertisement and should be reverted. (October 2012)
But, just looking at the articles, I'm going to say no, I don't support either of those educational approaches.

Schools like Summerhill are very appealing. If you have students with the right attitude to be self-motivating.

Neither. I support "education" as described by Ivan Illich in Deschooling Society.

I am in support of whatever works BEST for the individual. Unfortunately, society doesn't really agree with me. So, I wake my 15 year old up every day and force him to go to a school he hates so the law doesn't come after me.
