I was homeschooled in Idaho- think cows and thrift stores - but the homeschoolers were all weirdly obsessed with high society etiquette. We learned elaborate table settings, who gets into which parts of the car in which order, ballroom dance steps, etc.
Why do you think this was?

ooh maybe? I'm not familiar enough with other protestant subcultures to know if they were equally into etiquette.

there's a detailed system. In general, women get in the car first, but there's exceptions based on age, family proximity to the male helping the woman in the car, side of the car. Some questions like, what if there's one male and 3 females? Does he help all of them?

Reminds me of Conan O’Brien learning similar principles of etiquette: youtu.be/AUfpfOU_4IY

Maybe overcompensating for the alleged social disadvantages of homeschooling.

From my experience, homeschoolers are trads: uncomfortable with change, hearkening back to older ways. Irrespective of external political ideology. This stuff isn't so much high society as *old* society.
