High School is a post Civil War concept, and Middle School is a post WWII concept (they used to be Junior High Schools). Grant's father was a tanner (leather maker) and his family lived on the frontier, and Grant was working regularly by the time he was eight. Schools were held for about four months in the winter, after the crops were in, before time to plow and plant in the spring. Grant made the most of his scant education and was very good at math.
