They were both homeschooled for a time.

Did Ludwing van Beethoven go to high school?

There were no "high schools" per se in Beethoven's time. Most children were home schooled or in later years studied at a conservatory or university.

and

quote:
This is a small tribute to the famous FDR....

He attended the Grotan boarding school after about eight years of being home schooled.

I've wondered about the billboards, too. We homeschool and I thought about that angle. But Dark is right, I'm sure, about the sponsorship and purpose.
