...nevertheless displayed impressive talent. The performers in “Spirit, Rhythm, and Soul,” choreographed by Liz C. Michaud ’09, moved gracefully to the music of Aretha Franklin, Kanye West, Dusty Springfield, and Ray Charles.

The second act also featured EXP, the Expressions Dance Company’s audition-only troupe, and visiting group Urban Essence, whose dancers work as Youth Leaders...

You think homeschooled children never meet other kids? They meet them all the time, they protest - at ballet class, at church, on excursions arranged by and for homeschoolers. You think children mingle widely at school? School culture virtually precludes any but the most cursory contacts between children of different ages. You think all children are happy at school? Many spend years feeling anxious and excluded, victims of bullying...
