Man, the modern age takes reading and writing for granted because that knowledge is free.

If I wasn't born of this time, I would've been a scribe.

Yes but it is very inefficient, like say ancient egypt was known to have record that its people able to write and read with papyrus and tablet, other might use sand or ground to practice writing, or using wood/bamboo strips as seen in wuxia, sure there are various methods, but who can teach them? And what for?

Only very small margin people can teach the knowledge, and smaller part of peasants can study the knowledge, lastly majority peasants been living without literacy and calculations knowledge, those skills only become seen as relevant post bible become wide spread, and forcing people to be able to read and write was also a struggle. Try not to lump modern thinking and ideas to mess on actual history, cleopatra was beautiful.

During Medieval ages the literacy rate was between 10-20%. That means between 1 in 10 and 1 in 5 people knew how to read and write. Also why did you include that random bit at the end about Cleopatra being beautiful?

Knowing how to read and write is really important in modern days, but you know what else is important?

Math! How much will he need to pay after ordering that many? 🤣

Ironically, my BF's mom is pretty much illiterate, but she counts well.
She needs someone else to tell her about contracts and stuff, but for money, she counts it herself.
And she's so stingy.
