School’s Time or Learning Time? José Luiz’s lessons

Abstract

This article reflects about the school’s time in the context of the contemporaneous society, which requires of their citizens continuous processes of learning. This study is made from the experiences of José Luiz da Silva, who became a reader and writer of his own text deprived of school K-12. I follow the lines which constituted the collaborator’s learning, mainly his processes of reading and school experiences, based on the premises of (auto)biographical education research and Oral History, supported on the interwoven networks concept. I reflect about how school has been organized as a privileged space for teaching and learning, evidencing that the school’s time should not be limited to a specific stage of human life.
