A Simple Literacy Calculation

Sitting in Parent/Teacher conferences over the past few days I've rattled around the following question of calculation:

Dear Parent: In your home is number A or B higher?:

A: The combined diagonal inches of television screen(s);

B: The total linear feet of filled bookshelf space.

If A is higher than B, that's not good. If B is higher than A, there's a pretty darn good chance your son/daughter is doing well in school.


...now back to those Parent/Teacher Conferences
