Related Items Amish Center Books In Anabaptist Studies | Train Up a Child explores how private schools in Older
Order Amish communities reflect and perpetuate church-community values
and identity. Karen M Johnson-Weiner asserts that the reinforcement of
those values among children is imperative to the survival of these
communities in the modern world. Surveying settlements in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, Johnson-Weiner finds that, although Old Order communities have certain similarities in their code of conduct, there is no standard Old Order school. She examines the choices each community makes-about pedagogy, curriculum, textbooks, even school design-to strengthen religious ideology, preserve the social and linguistic markers of Old Order identity, and protect their own community's beliefs and values from the influence of dominant society.
