In my country - The Brasil - there are several problems whit the
educational system. There are much exclusion... This is a country much
diverse in terms of religions, of cultures, of races, of social class and
of genre. The educational system have much difficulties when face this
questions, and the teachers and school diretions take preconceptions abou=
t
these diferences. My work is to establish news forms of solutions to thes=
e
problems. We try to re-discuss whit teachers and scholar administration t=
he
rol of school in the social democratization process, the curriculum,
students behaviors, familiar x school relations, etc... and to give news
"understanding", news senses to the scholar experiencies of teachers and =
of
pupils.=20
I try to rescue the politic sense of scholarization, to discuss its rol =
in
the manutention of social status quo and of social diferences, etc...
