Abstract

Only child, and bearer of considerable parental ambitions, to be fulfilled through education, which of course was to lead to qualifications, a good job, steady income and no other deviations from my family’s norms. I suspect that many of the first-generation-to-go-to-university kids that I’ve taught here in recent years will give their parents the same kind of surprises that I gave mine — which can be summarized in my mother’s complaint that I ‘picked up funny ideas’ along the way. A private school was a manifestation of their social ambitions for me, and must have stretched the budget at times, though we were certainly not poor.
