This study, which can be inserted in socio-historical tradition of Psychology, investigated senses and meanings attributed by children to their unsuccessful school experiences. Seeking to fight school failure, it attempts to explore how children view such issues, aiming to make a positive contribution to the discussion of educational status in Brazil. The participants were two 10-year-old students, a boy and a girl, who faced, according to the teacher, difficulties to follow explanation and, therefore, were taking the risk of missing a school year. The children were attending 5th grade of primary school, in a public institution in São Paulo City. The method involved one month systematic classroom observation in 2010, complimented by interviews with classroom teacher and individual meetings with mentioned students. During those occasions, the students described how they viewed school, their teachers and school experience, while drawing situations related to those matters. Data systematization and analysis were collected in compliance with procedures recommended by Aguiar and Ozella (2006), building clutters of meanings, through construction and agglutination of indicators. Data were interpreted under a socio-historical theory perspective, presenting, among other things, children doing homework with fear and intense pain, whilst becoming progressively skeptical about their skills to meet criteria which define a good student. Under such circumstances, school wastes its function and purposes: ability to comprise an adequate mediation, in order to provide important learning and, consequently, development of new possibilities of being. Recommendations are made in terms of both initial and continuous teachers training, with emphasis on ethical and political aspects which are involved in teachers occupation
