During our approaches to secondary schools, we have observed that educators consider the regulation of their relation with pupils as one of the most difficult learnings that seem to develop quite autonomously. In Argentina, current researches allow to locate these experiences at a social historical configuration characterized, from the ‘60s onwards, by changes in intergenerational relations, leading to a scenario with a lack of clear models on how these relations should be held. From this proposition, we´ll explore some teacher ways of regulation, considering the specificity of the school interactional order, in which tensions between equity and hierarchy demands challenges educators to manage reciprocity. The analysis of the supports to these regulation practices will allow us to give account for some of the ways in which certain basic dispositions of the teaching labor in Argentina condition the ways of inter-generational linkage. This implies reflections over working conditions.
