Like some of your children, Kirk went to MCDS with many of his family members. All of them went to MCDS from kindergarten through 8th grade.
Kirk and his three siblings went to MCDS, plus his four cousins also went to MCDS in the same generation! Given that Kirk is in his third year teaching at MCDS, how many total years have Kirk and his family members been at MCDS?
For example: if a student and their sibling went the full nine years at MCDS, they would have 18 years in total.
8 family members x 9 years each = 72 years
72 + 3 years teaching at MCDS = 75 years at MCDS in total!
