Ethnography

The book provides excellent insight into the life of Amish children. Although I do not think I could adopt their ways of behavior, there is much to admire about the dedication of the Amish to protecting their culture. Unfortunately, that same dedication to preserving their way of life makes education a sticky and difficult issue to negotiate.
