Education, despite be considered universal human right and thus be covered by national and international law, has its effectiveness as a public policy marked by significant distance between the right and set up the right effected, expression of the contradictions that mark the capitalist state. Taking this statement as a starting point, and supported in the framework of the historical and dialectical materialism, as formulated by Marx and Engels, and Historical-Cultural Psychology, structured from Vygotsky, Luria and Leontiev, this article aims to problematize the distance between providing for the legislation and what is actually implemented in the society, focusing reflection on the effects of such a situation in the lives of students/adolescents and teachers.It exposes the constitution and class feature that mark the state and its close relationship with the characteristics that assume public policies; the lack of preparation of schools to carry out a coherent training with the development of adolescent students; and the illness of teachers in the face of powerlessness, and the accountability, to deal with questions to which they do not feel prepared.

Keywords : Right to education; Adolescent education; Teaching illness.
