Abstract: We need to talk about the attacks in schools, we need to deepen the discussions about violence in schools...According to Rezende (2021), violence and aggression constitute abuse of force and power of a stronger individual over another in a situation of inferiority with a desire for destruction.In the school context, violence has a multifaceted character, ranging from swearing to the emergence of weapons in schools.It is also necessary to distinguish between violence against school, school violence and violence at school, which, according to Ritsum (2023), correspond respectively to violence committed against school as an institution and structure; symbolic violence committed by the school against teachers and students; and finally, internalphysical, verbal, psychological violence committed between students, or between them and teachers, and with employees.Ferreira, Santos and Oriente (2023) define violence in school as diverse acts, physical, psychological violence, threats, fights, bullying and others, which are practiced and suffered by students, teachers and school staff.In this context, we found different terms being used, such as extremist violence, school shooting, massacres and armed attacks (Camine; Neitzel, 2023;Guimarães et al., 2022;Ritsum, 2023).
