ALMEIDA, Maria de Lourdes Pinto de  e  TELLO, Cesar Gerónimo. Education and school management in Latin America: history, challenges and opportunities. Perspectiva [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.3, pp.1205-1228. ISSN 2175-795X.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795X.2015v33n3p1205.

This article intends to think the school as a place of tolerance and respect that fosters the development of a democratic culture, so that its operation encourages the participation of all in decision-making processes. This seems to be utopian and not part of the political will of the leaders of the globalized and - especially - capitalist world. The work performed in school management, in most cases, loses the sense of space of exchanges, of social construction and relationship, and is seen only as a factor of economic emancipation and currency exchange, which is illusory because the compensation offered according to the market no long meets the real needs. This way, our goal is to discuss the school management before a historical context in Latin America, which is dictated by a neoliberal state that does not value the school education and that understands labor as sale of productive force for a salary at the end of the month and not as production of human existence.
