Amish child life

  1. Get up and completes their morning duties
  2. Attend school from the first grade to the eighth grade Amish children learn to speak Pennsylvania Dutch when they are young, but when they go to school they also learn to speak English and German. They also learn the basics of reading, writing, and mathematics as well as their gender roles
  3. Study
  4. Play sports but not in a competitive manner
In addition, at a certain age the Amish children are asked to decide whether they want to stay with their Amish family or leave and join the outside society without being allowed to return. Most of the time they children choose to join the outside world causing their population to decrease faster then it would if they stayed.
