It always has been. Only rich families could afford to have their children taught functionally-useless subjects like the Classics, Latin, Greek etc. since they’d never be so poor as to have to work for a living. Real human beings needed to learn to read, write and count to be able to work in industry, in shops, in trade, bookkeeping and the like.

That can miscarry—born in a foundling home, 5 years Latin, one Ancient Greek.
