The statistic is that a child who has a lot of books in their home does better in school than a child who does not.
Now, this may seem obvious... but read it carefully and don't read too much into it. Don't make assumptions which aren't there.
A child who has a lot of books in their home does better in school than a child who does not.
This statistic is regardless of whether or not the child's parents read to them regularly. A child whose parents own a lot of books, which the child never reads or has read to them, is more likely to do well in school than a child whose parents have the same level of income, don't own any books, but take their child to the library every day and read to them regularly.
This is one of several statistics which the author uses to show an interesting pattern. The success of your children has more to do with who you ARE than what you DO. The fact that you are the sort of person who would honestly and seriously consider turning their entire life upside down, and giving up a degree of safety and stability to be there for their children is an indicator that your children will be amazing people. This is true if you are working in a corporate job or running a photography business, because you are still that person.
