| Summary: | The text refers to a research developed in five Brazilian schools. The focus
was on a particular aspect of the high schools reform: the protagonism of
students and parents in the school´s practices. The option for the the
protagonism as a research theme is due to its presence, either in the curricular
aspect of the reform as well as in the management one. It is a multifaceted
object of concern, full of political and pedagogical meanings, which makes of
it a potential catalyzer of conflicts, simulations, omissions and, at the same
time, a potential stimulator of rich democratic unfoldings. The qualitative nature
of the research opened many perspectives for the study of the school´s
micropolitic as well as of the appropriation of innovation processes in such
context. The articulation of the specific aspects of the school practices and the
historical context was made by the use of the category of "sustainability". The
final analysis of data points to various contradictions in the process of
construction and implementation of the reform and to the reaction of the
schools to the government directives.
