An update of skholé and school against socialization

Abstract

I argue, in this article, about the relationship between socialization and education, considering the first as "process of introduction into society" and the second as "the introduction of new generations into the world".  The problem that guided the investigation refers to the existence or not of incompatibility between both objectives, whether it is reasonable to “socialize” considering the “society” in which children and young people are inserted and whether “socialization” contributes or not to the realization of skholé, characterized as “free time” distinct from society's “productive time”.  In this sense, I argued that skholé is only possible when "socialization" is not the central task of the school (because "socialization" unschools the school) or neither education reduced to "socialization".  The updating of skholé and its school institutionalization is fundamental for the introduction of “new generations” into the “world” and, perhaps, the only opportunity that human beings will have, under the current conditions, to experience the “free time” that suspends injunctions of the  family, society (economy, work, entertainment, leisure, rest, learning) and politics.
