Amish education laboratory

The Amish as a community to belong to...yeah, I'll pass.  But the Amish as a laboratory in education outside the reach of the normal masters, that's more interesting.  Amish America, a blog that covers exactly what you'd think, has a neat post up about a sample Amish schoolhouse.

The idea is that the kids are interested and motivated and, according to the writer, have a lot of fun.  Now if only they could keep getting that education after 8th grade.
