Importance of the school for fathers, mothers, students, teachers, staff and managers

Abstract

The school has been increasingly participating early inchildren’s lives and, by doing so, it works in the perspective ofemphasizing the development of scientific knowledge, but also in the formation of values. In this participation, parents, employees, teachers and educational managers are not omissive. In order to listen to the voices of those actors, in accounts ofthe importance of the school poses the challenge of clarifying a little bit more about that complex institution that, even criticized and questioned, continues to attract children and adolescents. The participants speak of the school as a life support, a place of social interaction and recognize schools as their second family, their second home. They also refer to the school as a source of hope for a better future, and believe that the natural beings can turn themselves into cultural beings. The position of the participants in the study allow for claiming a widening of the of the meaning of the school. They start to realize the importance of the construction of knowledge, once it is deeply imbricated within the existential life plan of each one.
