Is goofing off in class and getting good grades generally constitute proof of a direct or inverse relationship?

Answer 1

This would indicate an inverse relationship between bad behavior and getting good grades. This might be true for the rare individual who can learn by reading and the book is well-written, however, if you collected a large amount of data, you find that the relationship between bad behavior in the classroom has a direct relationship to getting bad grades. I don't know about your classroom behavior, but I would like to propose that you study how one individual's bad behavior affects the grades of the students around him or her.

Answer 2

Not necessarily. Goofing off in class and getting good grades may not always have a direct or inverse relationship. It could be that the student is naturally talented or puts in extra effort outside of class to maintain good grades despite goofing off during class time. Each student's situation may vary.
