    Why don't Amish children study beyond the eighth grade?

    		"Amish stop school at the eighth grade for two main reasons:
    �Practicality-Amish trades are agricultural or craftsmanship-oriented; Amish emphasize apprenticeship and hands-on learning
    �Religious Objections-Amish feel higher education can promote ideas counter to Christian values."
