Question: In the classroom, Reagan pokes and annoys other children. He does not stay focused in play. Instead of building with blocks, he kicks and throws them until the floor is littered, then runs on to activity after activity. His teachers have to hover over him and repeat directions to get him to clean up. In contrast, his classmate K'Shawn is obedient, concentrates intently on tasks like puzzles, and is kind.

Reagan rarely sees his father since his mother "threw him out" for beating her. Reagan's mother works full-time and attends school part-time. She is proud that she supports herself and her son. However, she says that she so seldom sees Reagan that she doesn't understand him. In contrast, K'Shawn lives with his married parents and 1st-grade sister.

K'Shawn and Reagan's teacher assumes their differences in behavior are caused by their family structure. Is this a reasonable assumption?
