Abstract

BASNIAK, Maria Ivete  and  ALMEIDA, Antonio Charles Santiago de. If our children study, will they be ‘someone’ in life?. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.3, pp.50-65.  Epub May 15, 2025. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v28i3.14682.

This paper discusses how students’ families from the underprivileged classes are the result of the role played by the school and their expectations about social promotion. For this it uses a qualitative research impregnated by everyday life subjectivity, but at the same time, it can identify and analyze data beyond measurement. We looked for a relation between Bourdieusian concepts and expressions used by the families, collected through videorecording, semi-structured interviews in a specific reality. The main result of our research is upheld by the belief that the interviewed has on the school as a place of privilege, where a social promotion is possible.
