What education did the Lincoln boys receive?

Ashley, because of his short attention span, I would think he was quite difficult to tutor. Regarding Tad, the president's secretary, John Hay, wrote, "He had a very bad opinion of books and no opinion of discipline."

There is a difference in books on whom Tad was with at Grover's Theatre when his dad was shot. Some books say he was with his tutor. Other books say he was with Alphonso Donn, one of the detail of Washington Metropolitan Police force officers assigned to the White House.
