The purpose of this study is to describe specific characters of children who have some problems to instruct or relate well to their teachers. To achieve such goal, below questions were addressed: first, How would their friends describe “children whom the teachers have some difficulties to teach”. Second, How would their teachers describe “children whom the teachers have some difficulties to teach”. Third, What do “children whom the teachers have some difficulties to teach” think? For settling these research problems, a survey examined two groups of the six graders for seven weeks, they are composed of fifteen students from Y elementary school of S city in Jeollanamdo. The finding from this study are as follows: first, their friends called them as Coolest kids. They are popular among students, they make groups of men. They always walk in crowds. So they look strong. That's why their friends called them so. But usual students don’t care what they do because they are not related to them. Second, the teachers thought of them as “A League of Their Own” Since they don’t bother other students, they just get along with their mates. And they often compete with one another. As a homeroom teacher, he or she can’t hate them. They make some troubles, but not too serious, they know the rules that they need to keep, and they have sense to do some school works, sometimes they seem like nice ones. But when they get a lesson from the other teachers, they make troubles during the class at times. Third, they think that they just hang out with friends. They appealed people just got them wrong easily. They wanted to stay with mates because they are close. So they didn’t like the idea that they need special care. Every time they got misunderstood, they wanted to speak their mind honestly, but they told me they didn't have the opportunity to do so. Through this example, these students have some specific characters such as group psychology, sense of belonging, duplicity. We could have a conclusion like this; if the teachers keep trying to listen to their words, and taking good care of them, they will be able to change themselves positively.

본 연구는 교사가 학교에서 만나는 학생 중 지도하기 혹은 관계 맺기 어려운 아이들의 특 성을 있는 그대로 보여 주고자 하였다. 이에 따라 학생 및 주변인들을 상담, 인터뷰 하고 그 들에 대한 목소리를 기술하는데 중점을 두었다. 그들의 이야기를 효과적으로 나타내기 위해 교사, 친구, 그들 자신의 견해에서 기술하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 이 학생들을 친구들은 ‘잘나가는 아이들’로 부르고 있었다. 친구들 사이에 서 유명하고, 인맥이 넓고, 몰려다니며, 쎄게 보이기 때문으로 이렇게 불렸다. 둘째, 교사는 ‘잘나가는 아이들’로 통하는 이들을 ‘그들만의 리그’라고 불렀다. 다른 학생들에게 특별히 피해 를 주지도 않고, 그들끼리만 의식하면서 지내기도 하고, 경쟁을 일삼기 때문이다. 셋째, 그들 의 입장에선 친한 친구이기 때문에 모여 같이 노는 것뿐이라고 한다. 친구끼리 노는 것뿐인 데 오해를 받아서 억울할 따름이라고 호소하였다. 이런 아이들의 사례 기술을 통하여, 이 학 생들은 집단성, 소속감, 이중성의 특징을 가지고 있으며 교사나 부모들은 다른 친구에 비해 이들을 지나치게 ‘경계선을 넘나드는 학생’으로 다루고 있었다. 주변에서 관심을 가지고 그들 의 이야기를 들어주며 대처한다면 긍정적으로 변화시킬 수 있을 거라는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.
