What do Amish children learn at school?
It all depends. Many Amish children attend rural public elementary schools and study the same curriculum as their classmates. If Bible classes are offered in on or off school property, they may attend these. If they attend a rural private school, their teacher is probably young and unmarried, with no teaching experience outside the Amish grade schools. He or she may not be Amish, however. School is taught in a one- or two-room setting with a basic curriculum of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Some Amish schools may offer history or science. All classes are conducted in English, which all Amish children learn by the time they are finished with first grade.
Are Amish children homeschooled?
No, in most cases they are sent to the Amish church that acts as school house, for short school day so they can still do their daily chores. They are taught only the 3Rs, up to the 8th grade, by a teacher who also has only an 8th grade education.

What is the origin of the phrase 'play hooky'?
The phrase "play hooky" meant to 'not go to school'. The origin seems to be with the Amish in Iowa -- at least that is where I learned it. Amish go to school only until 6th grade. They also use hooks and eyes for their clothing, rather than buttons. So the Amish were always referred to as "hookies" by others 'the English' as we were called. So to be like the Amish and not go to school was to play (like a) hookie.

What impact does a pluralistic society have on business?
The impact that a pluralistic society would have on businesses is good in the sense that there are different cultures living in one area. For example, in Pennsylvania, there are many small Amish towns, as well as normal cities surrounding them, the impact of the Amish people and the English people as they call it, is great since the Amish can sell their items to the businesses of the English people, giving the English businesses much profit and the Amish get the business from the English. Without such a society, English and Amish businesses would decline in finances, since the English need to pay little for Amish items and the Amish make out nice financially.
Is James Wolpert Amish?
No, James isn't Amish. To anyone familiar with the Amish the fact that James is on a television show says instantly that he couldn't possibly be Amish. If more proof were needed his clothing is "English" (non-Amish) and he's in high school. Amish only educate their children up to the 8th grade. Finally, you will not find any Amish teenager singing "My Sharonna" anytime, anywhere. Scroll down for the weblink to the Wikipedia article about the Amish in case you'd like to learn more.
