The objective of this work is to present the investigation done on the process of return to adults' school, using their meaning of schooling, understanding the reasons why students have returned to school and the meaning that the school acquired in theirs adulthood. We observed the devaluation of education as a child and realization of how the abandonment of studies have affected their lives, personal and professional, in addition, it was observed that nowadays, education is essential to the job market. The same labor market that took children out of school to take care of themselves, now requires of workers a return to school, so that they can continue in production chain and overcome (at least wishfully) your current socioeconomic status. We noticed also the historical heritage of producing dropout, in which those who come from the poorer classes carry stigmas of a supposed cultural gap throw exclusion and prejudice.

Keywords : youth and adults education; education; life history; critical theory; school failure.
