Abstract

This paper aims to highlight the importance of effective participation of parents in the school environment in a State School of Basic Education in Sapucaia do Sul - RS. For this, a survey conducted qualitative, case study, in which questionnaires were filled with open questions will be representatives from all segments school (management team, teachers, parents, staff and students). The questionnaires analyzed emphasize the need for effective participation of parents in the school environment, seeking better quality education for their children / students. It was found that the participation of all segments occurs precariously school. The management team feels disheartened and in many instances "mascara" reality, trying to make everyone think that is quite democratic. There is lack of awareness by parents of what their role in school because those involved are always the same, this group, which represents a minority. Regarding teachers realize that participation is mandatory and not by aspirations for change, although all are in favor and want a "democratic management". Already officials believe is involved develop their roles within the school and the students participate in activities "proposed or imposed" to be assessed not by interest. In all segments notice the lack of interest and motivation in the school environment. No commitment is evidenced by any of the segments seeking effective participation in decision-making. It is necessary that all segments reflect on the events in the school environment researched because it is far removed from reality desired, to occur the qualification and building a democratic school management.
