Abstract
This paper describes the views of the management team at a second chance school (Escuela de Reingreso) regarding the relationships between the social world and the school. Second chance schools have recently been created in an attempt to alter key aspects of the «grammar of schooling» at secondary schools. The interviewees describe the school as a social, cultural and educational space that revolves around the physical, social and cultural territory where it is inscribed. These «voices» acknowledge the end of the modern school as a sanctuary and illustrate how school actors are responding to the decline of the school as an institution (Dubet, 2002). The interviews were carried out in 2011/2012 in the City of Buenos Aires as part of a qualitative research project.
