Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.69, pp.59-77.  Epub Aug 17, 2023. ISSN 2358-0194.  https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.2023.v32.n69.p59-77.

The paper discusses the increase in school violence, observed in 2021 and 2022, in relation with the mischaracterization of the school as a place of belonging. For that, based on the premise that the capitalist social organization has implications for human development, especially for school structure and organization, we used the analysis of educational policies recently implemented in the São Paulo state network, together with violence data referring to the first months of return to face-to-face education. We also bring the narrative writings of an educator, active in the same network, in the final years of elementary school and high school, whose records make it possible to extrapolate numerical data and enter the reality of what has been experienced in the daily lives of schools. The analyzes show that there is a complexity of factors that contribute to the increase in cases of violence, among which we highlight the precarious conditions established by educational policies that deprive the school of its meaning and offer simple solutions to complex problems. Still, we signal possibilities of restoring the meaning of the school as a place of conviviality, production of knowledge and violence prevention.

Keywords : school violence; narratives; COVID-19 pandemic; educational politics.
