This authoritative book on Amish education deals with many questions: 1-why do the Amish have their own schools? 2-what goals do Amish teachers have for their "scholars"? 3-how are teachers chosen? 4-how are the parents involved? 5-what curriculum materials are used? 6-what about children with special needs? Co-author Sara Fisher writes from her experience as an Amish school teacher; co-author Rachel Stahl writes from her years of extensive research.
