However, your book was enjoyable and filled with only minor frustrations. = )
One thing though that really, really bothered me was the fact in the book that Amish school children are not schooled well, and one of the reasons given was that their textbooks were outdated. Their textbooks may be outdated, but any of the Amish people that I know who came out of those 8th grade classrooms, still after several years have gone on to graduate with not only no problems, no extra schooling, but often with perfect scores and honors. Their schooling most of the time, far exceeds our “general education” with all our fancy schoolbooks, computers and information.
