This paper presents an approach on the institutionalization of grammar and its perpetuation for centuries in the school. From what has been examined, one realizes that the teacher of Portuguese Language and the society in general are still guided by traditional teaching practices, more precisely, in the teaching of Normative Grammar, corroborating the view of the "right" versus "wrong". Such approach comes from a standard view postulated by the Greeks who entered in the scholar and social universe in such a powerful way that makes it unquestionable. Indeed, it has caused a large quantity of withdrawal of students from public schools, given the structural repetition of exercises, making it difficult for the students to perceive the language as a dynamic, historical and dialogical tool. This thinking goes beyond the school walls and is designed by the media, as it was discussed in the textbook "Por uma vida melhor."
