    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the education system in Amish, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania which seems to be plain and simple with no exposure to technology and official school-leaving age of 14 as compared to 16 in other U.S. schools. Topics discussed include teachers receiving training of just three days, lack of importance given to maths in the system, and the satisfaction of girl in becoming a teacher although low paid.
