In May 2016, more than 150 school occupations by its students began in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. In this paper, it is analyzed how occupations and interpretations by students with regard to the education offered in schools can help to reflect on the theme of the school curriculum and the role of the school in the political socialization of youth. As sources, the transcribed reports of eleven discussion groups that were carried out with students who participated in the occupations in the cities of Porto Alegre, Pelotas and Rio Grande were used, as well as the sixty-five individual questionnaires with data collected after the discussion groups were held. The research employed the assumptions of the documentary method proposed by Ralf Bohnsack and Wivian Weller, which seeks to construct categories according to the reference group.
