| Abstract | |
This dissertation main objective is to analyse the effect of the experience of lower classes students in a school project created by an elite school, which developed a school unit that offered free and exclusive service to the people who live at outskirts in the city of São Paulo. The analysis of the relationship between family and school is a classical subject of the Sociology of Education, which is, in an unequal country like Brazil, really important to understand the transmission of advantages and disadvantages from one generation to the other. In this research, such discussion was made through the comprehension of different aspects in an unusual school project, which is a school for students who lived in the outskirts of São Paulo created by an elite school. We were interested mainly in understanding the concrete and subjective effects of this experience in the life of these young students. We analysed the trajectories of former students of this institution in a qualitative research in order to understand, by conducting semi-structured interviews with former students and their families, how was relationship between school and families in a such unusual situation, besides discussing how they are building, after leaving the school, their projects for the future. We also interviewed some of these young people colleagues and or close relatives who had been educated in public institutions to make comparisons trying to discover the (potential) influence of the school in the paths of its former students. Some guiding questions can be summarized this way: What would be the nature of the conflicts and or alliances between these two socializing institutions in the path of these young people\'s lives? How, in the creation of their projects for the future, mostly in regard to its socio-ocupational insertion, has this relationship affected their choices? What is the family presence made of and how is it expressed in these unusual school paths? What is the meaning of educating for these parents and their children? The results indicate a variety of \"possibilities\" in the relationship between family and school, from the very close and agreeing to the most conflicting and disagreeing, although these conflicts, in general, didn\'t become confrontation actions, mainly from the families. The data lead to the conclusion that this school had a huge influence in the former students\' paths and the range of this influence depended largely on the arrangements between family and school, which varied from a strong integration to the disconnection between objectives and ways to conceive the future of those young people by these two socializing institutions.
