:: The Winston Churchill center does not say that the schooling was contiguous, and the claim that he was beaten suggests it may not have been.  Moreover, if he was already 7 when he started, then he had probably been homeschooled to learn how to read.  There are many claims on the internet, with limited details, that Churchill was homeschooled during some of these periods.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 12:22, 29 February 2008 (EST)
