RESUMO
The objective of this research is to comprehend how students actively build strategies of visibility and invisibility in a school daily basis in relation to the teachers perception. It is an attempt to understand how these strategies influence students school trajectories and the role they represent at the becoming a student progress. It was important thus to have an attentive look at schooling practices, clearly marked by gender and race, and to their effects on school performance. The ethnographic research was developed at a public school in Sao Paulo. The observations were focused on a fourth grade classroom and there were semi-structured interviews with its teacher and students. Implicitly, this study relates strategies of (in)visibility and school performance. As a result, it brings some questions about the effective acquisition of knowledge.
