In-laws children have a severely limited reading ability. 12 and 13 year Olds can barely read some 4-letter words.

Their math skills are worse, sitting around 2nd grade level.

The youngest are still in the "learn to socialize with other children" phase of education, but all 8 of their kids need severe assistance in their education.

But when one of the answers to their homework is "why is math perfect? because God is perfect and God made math" then it's no surprise.
