Education:

The Amish’s children are not going to a normal school.

Unlike ordinary students, they study only 8 years in a school that belonged to the Amish. the teachers in the school are from the Amish too.

And that is because the Amish want the children not to expose themselves to the world and to stay in their (the Amish) own way of life.
