O texto refere-se a estudo realizado junto a cinco escolas, focalizando um determinado aspecto da reforma do Ensino Médio brasileiro, qual seja, aquele que propõe o protagonismo de alunos e pais na prática escolar. A opção pelo tema protagonismo deveu-se ao fato de que o mesmo perpassa a reforma curricular e a de gestão, constituindo um objeto multifacetado, carregado de significado pedagógico e político e, portanto, potencial catalisador de conflitos, de simulações e omissões, mas também potencial estimulador de ricos desdobramentos democráticos. O enfoque qualitativo abriu muitas perspectivas para o estudo da micropolítica escolar e dos processos de apropriação da inovação desenvolvidos nesse contexto. A articulação entre o singular registrado nas escolas e o contexto histórico mais amplo foi trabalhada por meio da categoria "sustentabilidade". A análise final dos dados aponta diversas contradições no processo de elaboração e implementação da reforma e na resposta das escolas às diretrizes oficiais.
