The aim of this paper is to analyze a psycho pedagogical intervention Project about children with school complaint named "Prisma Project: the challenge of a new viewing". Our objective was supported by a study of the learning difficulties within a group of nine lower-class children. The research material was analyzed in a qualitative manner, aiming identify the concepts of school problems causes which were present in the instruments of the analyzed project: interviews, evaluations and a work proposal developed with the children and their families. Contribution of Patto (1990) and Heller’s (2000) papers brought the theoretical-methodological support. The analysis showed the co-existence of different conceptions about the causes of children’s school problems. It was observed the repetition of the prejudiced views that point the origins of school complaints to the children and their families. On the other hand, the new theoretical-methodological contributions allowed identifying some paradoxes: though Prisma attributed some deficiencies and worked in order to resolve them, children could use their all potential to learn in the situations that have been proposed. Besides, Prisma, with no conscious, learnt what the school did not do and this allowed children, for example, to write and to solution mathematics problems. This situation has disclosed children do not have learning difficulties, but the school has teaching difficulties. As from this conclusion, it became possible to discuss and analyze specifically the function of the psycho pedagogical work that has been developed, in order to comprehend and interfere in school problems.
