Have students always ignored their teachers' comments? Perhaps your ancient students were

“whining schoolboy(s), with (their) satchel(s)/ And shining morning face(s), creeping like snail(s)/ Unwillingly to school."

Just what I needed this evening!  In fact, there are cuneiform tablets that appear to be written by students learning to write and that contain teachers’ corrections.  Unfortunately, I don’t know what periods of cuneiform these tablets are from.  Perhaps someone on the list knows more about this.
