Abstract	The United States Supreme Court's decision in the case Wisconsin v. Yoder et al. (1972) created a special provision for Amish and Old Order Mennonite families by allowing their children to end formal schooling at age 14. The assumption was that these Anabaptist families were preparing children adequately to live "full lives" in their communities without a high school education. Most of these children attend small private Amish schools, but some public school districts, like those at the center of this study, have successfully attracted a significant number of Amish students to their schools. Through philosophically-oriented qualitative research, this study explores how educators in these public schools view their aims and influence in educating young people who are not destined for formal education beyond the 8th grade, or work that requires a high school diploma. The author identifies a peculiar agreement between families and educators in which Amish families extend a measure of trust and flexibility within their own values, and the educators deliver substantial accommodations in school access and curriculum to keep the schools open with a sizeable number of Amish students. The study examines the actions and agreements that maintain this settlement and the ways educators make peace with compromise in an effort to serve all students.
