What education did Charlie Chaplin get?

Answer 1

He only attended an elementary school for a few months, but was sent back to the workhouse. He barely learned to read and write. Throughout his adulthood he relied on himself to learn to read and write, but he was famously bad with grammar, spelling and was an extraordinarily slow reader.

Answer 2

Two years at an orphanage in Hanwell, West London, after his father had died and his mother had been sent to a lunatic asylum.

He was very unhappy there, and joined a music-hall troupe at about thirteen or fourteen.
