Do scribes teach?

It depends on country and culture. In ancient Israel, they taught about the Bible as part of their tasks. In other cultures, they were a professional class that wrote down laws, history and the deeds of kings or copied earlier writings. Or whose members simply were a 'pen for hire' for anyone who had a message to send and couldn't write. These scribes did teach, namely the art of writing to a younger generation of professional scribes or to well-off citizens who could afford to have someone teach them.

Because names were written both in greek letters and in hieroglyphic letters, it enabled Champollion to realize that the hieroglyphs were phonetic, and thus started him on the road to deciphering the alphabet.
