Sumario:From an ethnographic approach to social science educational materials produced by the Argentine provinces of Chaco and Santa Fe during 2020 and 2021, we investigate meanings of family, care, and child labor shaped in provincial proposals for educational continuity in an unprecedented scenario. By looking at the classifications, silences, and repetitions in two archives placed in dialogue, we seek to shed light on nuances, modulations, and tensions, in conjunction with current academic debates and evidence from regional research. On the one hand, we consider the roles assigned to the family in the education of children during the pandemic. On the other, we examine care and childhood–in relation to the family, the community, and the environment–and study the links between work and productive and reproductive activities. We conclude that pandemic provincial educational materials redefined the role of the family in education and created tensions between expectations and unequal living conditions.
