    Another data point: My wife's grandparents have 10 children, 81 grandchildren (mostly adults), and around 300 and counting great-grandchildren. It's wonderful! When we go on trips …

    That's an interesting contrast to the Proof School ( https://www.proofschool.org/ ), a private school also in San Francisco, which is the best 6-12th grade math environment for kid…
