The article recognizes the challenging context in which education takes place, featuring a profound diversity of learners and a growing teacher malaise that crosses institutions.In this scenario prophesies of failure are often made. The reflection on this article tries to decompose and refute the most common arguments that support the idea that philosophical thinking in teenage classes is not possible. From this perspective, the article proposes the critical deconstruction of a philosophy class, which provides the opportunity to rethink the conditions in which philosophical experience is posible.
