Resumo: In the current context of Brazilian schools, we observed that teachers often use health professionals to diagnose students' learning difficulties. From the Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective, this work presents a theoretical discussion about the social bond that has been established at school with such practices. We present a discussion about medicalization of childhood in education and the use of medication to solve the problems faced. From a bibliographical review, we present how the concept of childhood was constructed throughout history and how the child, in Modernity, became the object of intervention of various technical-scientific knowledge. Addressing the historical context of the constitution of Brazil as a Republic, we discuss how the child became the object of social intervention by hygienist policies directed to the School. We identify the insertion of medical knowledge in schools, with the beginning of a medicalization of ―non-learning‖. We make a revision on the concept of subject in Lacan, as being subject of the unconscious and not of reason. We discuss what became known as the period entitled ―return to Freud‖ and how Lacan introduced the notion of the unconscious structured as language. We present Lacan's theory of discourses and how it becomes a new way of approaching the concept of subject. From there, we approach Lacan's propositions about capitalist discourse, in which the author emphasizes such discourse as a new way of establishing social bonds in contemporary society. Finally, we discuss how this new social bond in capitalism gives us evidence why the school uses a medical knowledge to name and solve the problems faced in everyday school life
