So, directly from my significance tests, for the teachers: We fail to reject the null at the 0.05 level of significance,
or any reasonable level of significance, for that matter,
because the p-value much greater than alpha. Therefore, there is
insufficient evidence to conclude that teachers find talking in
class more disrespectful than teachers find sleeping in class,
on the average of both of them.

significance test: We can reject the null at the 0.05 level of significance

The conclusion that I am drawing here, though I
realize that this test does not represent causation, is that
teachers at NOHS do not find talking more disrespectful towards
them than sleeping, but that students at NOHS do.
