Elite private schools in Brazil suffer from the general decline in academic standards affecting the country. Students in such schools establish with the school and with knowledge as a whole a predominantly instrumental relationship, which is anchored in the historical "mismatch" between this social group and Brazilian social reality, including its folk cultural traditions. Each teacher, depending on the position he or she creates for him or herself, might create possibilities for a dialogue that goes beyond social and cultural barriers.

Keywords : Knowledge; Brazilian elites; adolescence.
