I'm curious - since the Amish only go to school until 8th grade, what are the credentials of the teacher? I've seen pics of Amish in school with non-Amish, so I never thought about Amish-only schools and who would teach.
As far as I know, they really don't have any credentials - at least nothing past high school. They must be Amish and, I believe, single. I think that the Amish can attend high school if they want, since they do not join the Church until later, but it is not encouraged.
