| Summary: | The paper, based on an ethnography of a « mined field » in a school of relegation, deals about some ethnographical traps and ethical dilemmas of the searcher « trapped » in the social network he’s studying, as Everett C. Hughes suggested. Put in the schoof staff in substitute teacher roles or trainee educator by a participant observation, the searcher is induced to know the incidents that the students impose to the young staff member to « test » him, so as the tensions and conflicts inside the staff. The moral and psychological background of observation conditions based on tension and confrontation lead the searcher to a kind of « scorched field policy » examined from similar fieldwork experiences.
