Família e escola: estudos de uma relação (in)delicada a partir das relações de gênero

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the relationship between family and school, analyzing a set of school documents that aim to communicate with the families of students of the second cycle of Elementary School (6th to 9th grade) until the end of High School – the well-known school letters, along with the analysis of meetings.These data were cross-referenced with information from official education documents and the bibliographic research.It was also used the enrollment form that parents fill in when they enroll their dependents and the analysis of face-to-face meetings between the schools and those responsible for female students, an analysis with ethnographic inspirations. It should be noted that this study justifies its importance in the current Brazilian context, in which the dispute over family models, school curricula and political perspectives within schools is in vogue. Some representations of thisare: the “School Without Party” movement (an NGO that articulates proposals to curtail what teachers should teach in their classrooms. The prohibition of debates on gender themes is one of the main proposals), the debate on "gender ideology" (the nameReligious fundamentalists useto label issues related to gender and sexuality), and disputes over the Family Statute (PL 6583/2013 - Author: Anderson Ferreira PR / PE).Added to these conservative proposals is the recent proposal for the reform of secondary education (that intends to segment disciplines by areas and to transform teaching to full time activity) that was presented to society by means of a provisory act (MP 746/16). It becomes necessary to emphasize that these attack acts to the Brazilian worker women represent a part of the conjuncture. Acts of resistance and struggle are going on systematically in various parts of Brazil. Some examples of these struggles are: the occupied schools, as well as university rectors, and also acts and protests as a way of denouncing this attackto conquered rights.
