In recent times, the media have been a privileged arena for the circulation of wisdom and knowledge about life in general. The same applies to school. In order to analyze the productivity of some discourses present on the media - particularly in their printed version - about school, I attempted to confirm the existence of a ‘device’ (FOUCAULT, 1989). It is permanently used by the media to stress school’s relevance among us. The examples presented here illustrate the variety, quantity, and ‘quality’ of the arguments regarding school. Furthermore, although conclusions are not (and do not intend to be) final, perhaps the only solution pointed out by news articles for contemporary school facing constant threats is to use new technologies and the endless control mechanisms to keep “in” school those uncivil, undisciplined, and rude who have not yet been able to learn to believe in its importance (and the education it practices).

Keywords : School; Media; School Violence; New Technologies; Monitoring; Control.
