The present work consists of the historical rescue of rural schools in the Municipality of Mariano Moro, located in Alto Uruguai Gaúcho. These schools served the peasant population residing in that locality. These schools belonged to the municipality and the state. It aims to history the process of closing rural schools in Mariano Moro, in the light of Rural Education. For a better understanding of the motivations that take a school to its limit, which is extinction, before the bureaucratic part. According to the title of this research, only ruptures, ruins and memories remain for the suffering peasant people who always end up being neglected by government agencies. The research was articulated around the national campaign carried out by social movements "closing a school is a crime", which shows the forgetfulness of rural people, when they are not questioned about the changes made in the community. The methodology used involved documentary research and History Oral, through interviews with people who went through the Três Pinheiros Elementary School, being these a retired teacher in the state who worked at the school for thirty-three years, a mother of a family whose daughter studied at the school and the author's father who studied at the school, thus passing through generations, as their children also studied at the same school. The study also rescues the process of closing the school on the Três Pinheiros Line in Mariano Moro/RS and the remnants of a school that is currently covered by forest. Over three chapters, it demonstrates a little of the history of the municipality of Mariano Moro, how the process of colonization of the municipality took place, with thus establishing the sixteen schools in the Mariano Moro camp, which are now all closed, showing how social rights are being denied to the working class.
