This article presents part of the findings of an ethnographic study that analyzes the influence of gender on the indiscipline of 11- and 12-year-old children. We observed that, although boys exhibit disruptive behaviors more frequently, girls also transgress the rules of the pedagogical game, but they do so in a more discreet way and in accordance with the patterns incorporated into the structure of the school order. The results indicate that the notions of gender and the forms of masculinity and femininity guide the behavior of boys and girls, as well as interfere in the perception and, consequently, in the way in which teachers deal with indiscipline in the classroom – resulting in the continuation of binary gender divisions.
