I was born in the early 80s, went to school in the US and Germany, and really cannot connect my experience with yours. If anything, there was a universal attitude that math and science were harder, while the others were easy to pass with just enough engagement in class.
But the dominant theme of my recollection would really be that there just wasn’t any such narrative of “the humanities” vs “tech”.
