The discourse on democratization of the public school is a key element in political and educational campaigns and projects in Brazil, highlighting the need for investments in the sector, however, historically, also parallel to this discourse, a practice marked by neglect and due to the lack of systematization of public policies that advance this ideal. Faced with this problem, this study discusses some impasses and controversies inherent to the process of democratizing teaching in public schools, pointing to the need to overcome this dilemma, with a view to a democratic space for the construction and socialization of knowledge. A bibliographic research was carried out, with a qualitative approach, in the light of the readings of Behrens (2005), Chizzotti; Almeida (2019), Gadotti; Torres (2001), Dewey (1959), Freire (1998; 1997; 2003; 2006), Mello (2003; 2014; 2018), Saviani (2003; 2007; 2012; 2013), among others. In the construction of a debate on the theme, Paulo Freire’s pedagogy of autonomy stands out, a fundamental theorist in the elucidation of a model of democratic and citizen school, which today, facing the current political and educational configuration of the country, suffers serious attacks, thus triggering the government’s inertia in the structuring of public education systems and in the valorization of teachers, aspects that fragment and distance the public school from an ideal of social democracy.Downloads
