Resumo
Em Campinas, SP, em meados do século XIX começam a existir escolas para atender ao movimento que ocorria no cenário econômico brasileiro. Vejamos a história desse movimento, detendo-nos na criação de uma escola popular que começou na cidade ainda no tempo do Império, entrou no período republicano, viveu inúmeras décadas, teve seu prédio de bela arquitetura demolido, sofreu grandes dificuldades e sobrevive: Escola “Corrêa de Mello”. O trabalho parte de informações sobre a educação em geral e sobre a pessoa de Joaquim Corrêa de Mello, analisa os dados históricos disponíveis e vale-se de depoimento pessoal da autora desta comunicação. Apadrinhado por Álvares Machado, chega a Campinas um jovem que se torna farmacêutico em 1834 pela faculdade de Farmácia do
Rio de Janeiro. Seu nome: Joaquim Corrêa de Mello, que se destaca com pesquisas sobre a flora da região e descoberta de medicações decorrentes dessa flora. Após seu falecimento e dada sua marcante atuação junto às crianças, especialmente as pobres, pessoas influentes
da cidade decidiram fazer uma escola com seu nome para continuar sua benemerência. A escola é posta a funcionar em 1881, oito anos antes da Proclamação da República, no então Largo Jurumberal, posteriormente rebatizado de Largo Corrêa de Mello em frente ao
atual Mercado Municipal (conhecido como “Mercadão”). Torna-se municipal em 1889 e funciona até 1963 quando sua bela construção projetada por Ramos de Azevedo, tomando todo o quarteirão, é demolida e o local transforma-se em terminal de ônibus. A escola vive anos em vários lugares no bairro chamado São Bernardo e apenas em 1976 é reinaugurada em prédio próprio no bairro Parque Universitário. Hoje, após lutas e múltiplos esforços funciona como a maior escola municipal e com qualidade de ensino elogiada, voltada ao papel histórico fundamental de sua origem.
