My childhood life feels mostly invisible here. My childhood best friend has her hands permanently fucked from scrubbing floors for years. Few (none?) of my "highschool* friends went to college. Nobody left Idaho. They're mostly working minimum wage jobs... indefinitely.

Also to clarify I don't think this is specifically a homeschooler thing; the ppl from my earlier-childhood homeschool community from california ended up a bit more typically middle class.

Uh but my point is I just think I assumed that more of my class "got out", that their voices are part of some more important discourse, that they must have managed to get some influence or following somewhere... but I think probably this isn't true.

That's how social inequality works. I also come from lower middle class so I often get the same feeling. Very noticeable when people tell me about how their dad, aunt or cousin is some professor or physicist. I'm the only person in my family with a university degree.

It's the Mathew Effect. Starting off with more just makes it easier to acquire more ad infinitum.

++ Grew up lower-middle class but attended a private college. The different expectations between rich and poor is fascinating. In general, even mediocre rich people expect to be rich and it generally works out. They immediately tap into a web of friends/family upon graduation.
