Abstract
This article results from the research entitled “Childhood, adolescence and malaise in schooling: case studies in psychoanalysis and education”. From the interlocution between psychoanalysis and education and the study of cases as a research method, five cases of childs and adolescents forwarded by school to psychiatry were accompanied aiming to map how malaise occurs in schooling. The research started from the investigation of four discursive axis: subject, family, specialists and school. We’ll specifically approach a selected part of school axis analysis, based on transcripts of interviews with educators and school reports attached to the cases files. Precisely we’ll discuss the constructed category Ideal Student, extracted from the speech of educators and subcategorized in Subject-child and Object-child. We’ll discuss the importance of create spaces that favor the flexibility of educator’s gaze to students, in the tension between the ideal and the real, sustaining the malaise coming from the impossible of all-educate.
