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?

Presume you mean etiquette was part of your home sch curriculum? Had to be a parental value then. They knew you’d grow up & go off to college or elsewhere and didn’t want you coming off unsophisticated.

Us homeschoolers got together once a week to have 'homeschool school' where all the moms would trade teaching things they were better at to other kids. Etiquette was big! And ofc we hung out with other homeschooled families, it so I know it wasn't just us.
