ALCANTARA, Wiara Rosa Rios. A sala de aula foi o meu mundo: a carreira do magistério em São Paulo (1920-1950). Educ. Pesqui. [online]. 2012, vol.38, n.02, pp.289-305. ISSN 1517-9702.

In the first decades of the twentieth century, the Republican public school system of the State of São Paulo was established, expanded and structured. The creation of a network of schools drove the organization of the teaching career motivated by the need to train teachers capable of making this expansion more efficient. During this period, a set of laws that regulated the profession was established, turning teachers into state civil servants. Thus, besides the organization of the education system, the teaching profession was also increasingly organized in São Paulo. The objective here is to problematize the career and the teaching work in São Paulo, based on the experience and trajectory of Botyra Camorin, a teacher in the state of São Paulo, taking her itinerary as representative, since the identity of a class, of a profession, cannot be taken as evident independently of the trajectories of its members. Along these lines, following the threads of this particular itinerary immersed in a web of relations made it possible to observe the multiplicity of teachers' experiences, the plurality of the contexts of reference, and the tensions that establish limits and possibilities to the everyday practice. Confronting the primary sources - autobiographies, novels and short stories written by Botyra Camorin - with the legislation, texts by educators and other studies revealed that we must not pursue solely the uniformity and homogenization of the teachers, because the meanings attributed to the teaching work and the ways to experience it or carry it out are not perennial, but are closely related to the spatiotemporal conditions of the exercise of the profession.
