Detailed, longitudinal ethnographic approaches that explore how school success and failure evolve as interdependent sociohistorical positions are important for understanding how such processes affect unintended educational inequity in schooling. This study describes how one student comes to inhabit the identity of a disruptive student relative to a classmate who gradually comes to be viewed as the smarter student. Dette studie dokumenterer, hvordan en elev går fra at blive opfattet som en 'dygtig' elev til at blive opfattet som en 'forstyrrende' elev i løbet af folkeskolens mellemtrin. Det sker som en konsekvens af, at en anden elev over tid overtager rollen som klassens 'dygtigste' elev. Sådanne relationer mellem elevers sociale rolledannelser udvikler sig i socio‐historisk kontekst. Studiet viser, hvordan longitudinal sproglig etnografi hjælper os med at forstå og forklare, hvordan relationelle rolledannelsesprocesser kan skabe utilsigtet ulighed i skolen.
