The study analyzes the school work of teachers from urban and rural preschool and primary schools in Chiapas, in response to the health emergency caused by Covid-19. The research is of a qualitative hermeneutic type, carried out from interviews with 22 professors. The analysis enabled the construction of three thematic blocks: Through the screen. Hardship, anguish and discomfort, School work. Public and private contexts of education and schools in resistance; and, the Learn at Home Program, which presents the speeches of supporters and critics of its implementation. Updating in the report, the forms of pedagogical and ethical political action with which teachers have faced this unprecedented socio-educational condition, offers a framework to rethink the reconfiguration of the relationship between school agents and families, to fight for greater equity in the education system.

Here we present experiences and reflections on what the deployment of tele-education decisions with childhood is implying, and for this, we attract references to studies on the subject, geared to specific results of a project carried out in a rural area of Chiapas. Mexico, which helps us to ponder the position faced by educational institutions and actors in contexts with high social marginalization prior to the pandemic, and how to deal with the proposal of educational models of distance education.
