Abstract
Based on a reflection from the work of Boto (2010), tackling the work carried out in Portuguese schools between the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, aiming the civilizing process of the students. Since the start of pre-school, to go through this process was seen as essential or the individual to learn to live in the "adult world". That is, establishing itself as citizenrestricting individual interests for the common good. The elaborate analysis ponders the relevance of this way of thinking the child's education in contemporary Brazilian education. The school is concerned about curriculum content compliance "encyclopedic", which materialized in textbooks and educational practices, still seems to be aimed at taming of bodies and minds, and no commitment to training prerequisites of critical thinking and autonomous, essential for the formation of future agents of social transformation and leaders of our country.
