The objective of this paper is to reflect on the relationship between school and child labor in tobacco farming context of Santa Catarina, considering the particularities and the global aspects which field workers are subjected to. The survey was conducted in 11 schools, involving 1080 children and adolescents from Santa Catarina municipalities of São Bonifácio, Imbuia and Canoinhas. We noted that the existence of a fine line between child labor and aid to the family life organization is a key element of the current forms of exploitation and widespread of collective work. Thus, the place occupied by school goes beyond the field of education and skills required to work in a capitalist society. Schools and early childhood units are also, dialectically, the place of non-working, where children and adolescents are spared from the daily toil, find same age peers, play, learn and rest.
