Letter to children in schools in Brazil

Abstract

Inspired by Glória Anzaldúa's letter to women writers from the Third World, I ask the author for poetic permission to write a letter addressed to the childhoods I have listened to in schools in Brazil and to propose a dialogue between the listening and the way they cross me, their speeches, and educator-researchers who have sought to think about children, experiences, and schools, aiming to find possibilities for a living life among the disharmonious and fragmented contents with which contemporary schools have fed them. Given the possibility of listening that has been generously offered by the children, I have been searching for the traces of dream promises for another possible school.
