O neoliberalismo como um dos fundamentos da educação domiciliar

Abstract

This paper analyzes neoliberalism as one of the foundations of homeschooling, a phenomenon which has attracted a growing interest in Brazil, evidenced by the attempts to regulate it in the country. In order to conduct such analysis, three of the most recognized representatives of neoliberalism were taken as reference, namely Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman e Ludwig von Mises, especially for their renewed concerns about the liberties, particularly the individual ones. Neoliberalism is presented as one of the theories that supports homeschooling, for its rejection of compulsory education, which carries strong implications for the educational debate, mainly as challenges to the public compulsory school. Keywords: homeschooling, neoliberalism, compulsory education Resumo: Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o neoliberalismo como um dos fundamentos da educação domiciliar, fenômeno de interesse crescente no Brasil, dada a tentativa de regulamentá-lo no país.

Education in Mises, Hayek and Rothbard: fundaments for extreme privatization

“…Our second aspect to analyze the extent to which these authors use privatization in education is the role they give to the content of formal public education and the relationship between this content and the State. Of note, all authors agree in this aspect, presenting the most destructive criticism to the NES and supporting homeschooling (Oliveira & Barbosa, 2017) and the ideas of "school without party" (Salles, 2017). For them, the NES would be a mere resource of political indoctrination to sustain a strong and interventionist State and its expansionist policies.…”

Oliveira and Barbosa (2017) highlight Mises' view against compulsory education, which he considers to be a voluntary activity of parents or a service provided by the market. Based on Mises, Rothbard (2013) further develops the idea of education as a voluntary parental activity, based on simple precepts, not linked with formal education.…”

Homeschooling, the Teaching of Controversial Issues and the New Brazilian Conservatism

“…Accordingly, the Brazilian literature indicates that homeschooling advocacy rests on two pillars: neoconservatism and neoliberalism (Cecchetti & Tedesco, 2020;Oliveira & Barbosa, 2017;Picoli, 2020;Vasconcelos, 2017). The former, through a complex dynamic, acts to maintain the status quo and modify and control the moral order according to its interests.…”

A defesa pela “liberdade de escolha” fortalecendo uma rede empresarial: o homeschooling brasileiro

“…[...] uma cidadania mais preocupada com a manutenção dos direitos individuais, sobrepondo-os aos demais que, em decorrência, acolheriam a primazia das opções individuais e domésticas, ou uma cidadania mais articulada com os espaços coletivos e republicanos, nos moldes da educação escolar compulsória. (BARBOSA;OLIVEIRA, 2017, p. 20).…”
