It takes a village to raise a child ... and a city (thé city?) to raise a scribe?

There's a problem. There's this kid, and he has to get into school. But it's 2000BC and the child belongs to some peasants. Who's ever heard of peasants sending a child to school? - 'to become a scribe, your father must be a scribe'. Gulp!
