I can relate to a lot of what you say. My school had a decided slant against farm kids and the farm kids who were on the edge of the district and had ground in another district pushed their parents to transfer out and more than a couple did. One family actually paid taxes on their home place in another district but went to mine per some arrangement between the districts. The family looked into the other district and the deciding consideration was they would have to walk nearly half a mile to a pickup point. 1976-77 winter was a very tough one here and while that was going this decision was being pondered they thought about hiking to the pick up point when it was 15 degrees and snowing hard so they decided against it. Girls were pretty hard to come by with even the farm girls openly signaling they were leaving the farm upon graduation. I seriously thought about quitting as I was pushing 16 but I gutted my way through. The common thought back then was a GED was something you wiped with and I wanted college pretty bad so that was additional motivation. I did alright with math and science but could tell I would never lead the class grade-wise so an ag degree is what I looked at for college. Guys were always trying to push me into fights. I got a reputation as being solid in a lot of ways although not towering so the bullies went looking elsewhere to get their pleasure. One guy tried punching me in the gut but it was obvious he had hurt his hand. All those hay bales helped build my physique.
