Comment on What happens at Amish schools in the summer… by kerry.
I’ve never heard them ring in an emergency (we do get bad weather here). I imagine that they do ring them some places. Maybe after school starts here I’ll take some drives in the mornings around other area schools at starting time and see if some do ring their bells. The Amish schools usually start at 9 here.
The two closest Amish homes to me DO use a triangle to call in from the fields, so I do enjoy hearing that on a nice day!
