Thus, today, the school socialization is now conceived not only as focused on integration of actors in the system, but seeks also to processes of subjectivation and refection of subjects in interaction. The survey was carried out in two schools of the Municipal Network Teaching of Belo Horizonte (RMEBH) - involving teens, education professionals and parents.

The theoretical-methodological choice this research produced quantitative data, through the application of questionnaires and qualitative data through the focus group. In line with the concepts of school social climate and social experiment it was found that the quality of relations between the subject depends on levels ofsocial experience sharing on the process of education and its social function, as well as socioeducational indicators. The representations of the subject of the schools surveyed analysis, from notion of the deinstitutionalization and action logics, showed that the relations qualitybetween subjects is a result of collective defense in favor of the school socialization, cause their possible deinstitutionalization, creating a unit of meaning and enhancement of school practices, even in the context of a dispute between the school socialization and of teenagers socialization. This school social climate more "academician" showed as more suited to good school performance.
