I think it is very interesting how they live in the Amish life style, and how they are handling the changes that they are going through.Like schooling, driving, living,dressing.The lst show they are shunning Kate which is sad and it was a learned behavior. It was all based in fear. Fear and not knowing being out of their element.They all seem like good kids to me.

People really need to read someone's full response before a rebuttal he stated some Amish are more into technology than others and based on his review clearly he is one that is not completely against technology. Just saying ;-)
