My classroom troublemaker

    Looking back at my tutoring hours this semester and reflecting it back on the reading Troublemakers I have noticed that there may be a trouble maker in the classroom.  The boy, who we will call Billy, is a child of color, comes into class dressed in clean, comfortable, and warm clothes.  Although in the reading, it is thought that these students who are seen as troublemakers are trying to question the school system and stand up for the freedom, I do not see the student in my classroom doing this just yet.  I think that this student is not questioning the school system just yet is because things that he is getting in trouble for things that are not a big deal.  This student is in first grade and is doing things such as not being able to stand in line, possibly putting his hands on others, or being a distraction during lessons.  For example the students were on the rug trying to learn a lesson of math and this particular student had to go back and sit at his desk because of what I believe is he put his hands on someone else like their shoe.  This student is not consistent with getting in trouble though.  Although he is in first grade now it makes me wonder what will happen when he gets older.
