Yes they had a school but only if you were one of the famous or rich people. it was very difficult to learn and took up to 12-20 years to learn it. Over 500 meanings were used in Cuneiform writing, but they had you learn it to record any documents or events that took place. In ancient Sumer they used a pen or "stylus" on clay to write with. They would then let it harden in the sun or used a fire kiln for hardening it. It then was stored away for future reference to.
