This article describes the possibilities of offering education to street boys and girls. The concept “culturaly unbeatable” is essential for one to understand that these groups present several ways of resisting an established system, not passively accepting a model which already exists. This way, instead of being expelled from school, these street boys and girls expelled school from their lives, for being distant from reality and the way reality is treated in schools. The analysis of history and its oppressive ways, concepts and socially built representations, attending to poor children leads us to some answers. From experiments, held from 1983 to 1989 , at Aunt Ciata School in Rio de Janeiro, new methodologic concepts to teach these young fellows, in scholastic process, are proposed.

Keywords : Meninos de Rua; Invencíveis Culturais; Exclusão e Educação.
