Haha, I've never done the math on it, but you are right. That is a lot of writing.
I've been put on pencil sharpening duty as a parent volunteer and some of those off-brand pencils are awful. They fall apart as you sharpen them. After going through that several time, I've swore to always abide by the Ticonderoga/Dixon brand requests.
