A bit off topic, but there’s a funny passage in the book “Weavers, Scribes, and Kings” about a tablet from a scribal school. It read:

  The door monitor (said), "Why did you go out without my say-so?" He beat me.
  The jug monitor, "Why did you take [water or beer] without my say-so?" He beat me.
  The Sumerian monitor, "You spoke in Akkadian!" He beat me.
  My teacher, "Your handwriting is not at all good!" He beat me.
