Rosser, TN Amish School

The photo at the top of the Blog is our little one room Amish School House. There are 30 scholars that attend 1st through 8th grade. This is Miss Wilma Yoder's second year as the 'one and only' teacher. The Amish still practice in 'paddling' the scholars if they misbehave.  Of course, they have no electricity or indoor plumbing. There is an outhouse out behind the school. All of their lessons are done during school hours, so there is never any homework. The main reason for this is because they have to do their chores as soon as they get out of school, as well as before walking to school in the mornings. Several of the scholars walk as far as 5 miles to and from school, in all kinds of weather.
