This writing, of an essayistic nature, textualizes a discussion about school education. It aims to reflect on the school at the presente, crediting ideas and concepts discussed by Paulo Freire and Alexander Sutherland Neill as central to the development of school educational practice, namely: human formation, dialogue and freedom. In methodological terms, it is based on bibliographic research. From this dialogue between the two thinkers, we envision a path to school education that is based on three complementary itineraries: a school that is based, perennially, on the idea of education as a humanizing social practice; a school that refers to useful knowledge for life; and a school that promotes dialogue, respects the diversity of human beings and cultivates socio-affective relationships.

Keywords : School; Humanistic formation; Dialogue; Freedom.
