[post_page_title]Higher education is discouraged[/post_page_title]
Education is an important part of every Amish child’s maturation, but there is an important difference between regular American education and Amish education. For most American children and teenagers, school is generally seen as a stepping stone to higher education. High school is important, but college is even more important.
This is the opposite of how it is done in Amish society. Higher education is discouraged, as it can influence people to leave their Amish community. Instead, kids are taught about different practical professions within the community so that they don’t need a college education.
