This article aims to discuss the fine line existing between movements that claim educational alternatives in relation to the school institution - arguing for freedom of choice in relation to the spaces/times of education - and the precariousness of public educational institutions. Drawing from Hannah Arendt, António Nóvoa, Jan Masschelein, Marteen Simons and Félix Guattari as well as the critical review of recent academic productios (doctoral dissertations and master’s theses) on parental collective initiatives and their “unschooling” discourses in the Brazilian context, we discuss the complexity of the public issue in education amid the disputes of private actors in the education policy agenda, in order to problematize family-school relations and tensions between the public and the private in the field of Early Childhood Education.
Keywords: Unschooling. Homeschooling. Parental collectives.
