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.


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.


Why do Amish kids get out of school earlier?

Amish kids get out of school earlier then Naugatuck people is because Amish people have gardens they have to take care of and Naugatuck does not. Amish people also get out earlier is because people plant gardens and the extra good people get to help and people who are bad in school get sold Another answer: All states have an age when children may leave school. That is the age when Amish children drop out of school. In this state it is 16. Frequently Amish children do not start school in First Grade until they are 7. The Amish value work done with ones hands more than work done with a pencil and a piece of paper. They learn carpentry and other useful manual skills. Today when a college diploma means that a person is unemployed and one hundred thousand dollars in debt. His Amish neighbor is adding to his house.


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.
