In the course of this article, it is intended to problematize the emergence of individual students’ choices as a curricular principle for the schooling of Brazilian adolescents and young people, insofar as it is accompanied by a new formative grammar. Therefore, studies on valuing the voice of students will be reviewed, dialoguing with recent elaborations and prioritizing a more systematic approach to Michael Fielding’s publications, specifically his concept of ‘intergenerational learning’. After the concepts of student voice have been covered and dimensioned within the scope of neoliberal policies, the investigative results produced about the new high school in Brazil will be discussed, emphasizing the notions of life projects, youth protagonism and socio-emotional skills. Finally, as a balance of the considerations presented, three principles will be defended for the revaluation of the students’ voice through intergenerational learning. This defense, from a pedagogical point of view, leads us to resist the excesses of individualization arising from neoliberal-inspired curriculum policies and, with the necessary urgency, re- enter the political struggle around the meanings of student participation.
