Faced with the growth of the theme of Homeschooling in the Brazilian political scenario and the presentation of Billsto regulate the practice, this paperintended, based on a theoretical investigation, to reflect on the possibilities of “schoolless education” in the contemporary world.

It reflected on the distinctions and educational roles of the private and public spheres and the place of school between them, as well as what effective education means.
