A 24-pack is enough for the school year

A 24-pack of number 2 pencils is enough for one school year for most kids.

Do the math: kids lose, lend, chew, or snap pencils at roughly one per week. A standard 24-pack covers that with a few spares left over for the kid who forgot theirs. School supply lists usually ask for 24 for a reason — the teacher ran the numbers, not the pencil lobby.
