...chop like moves. For dance club wallflowers, uncomfortable with the demands of hip-hop, parapara was a godsend. The steps are simple. You don't have to ask anyone to dance. Everyone's doing the same thing and no one stands out?except those who haven't done their homework...
High schools are changing too. Baby boomer parents have started movements against homework, stringent graduation requirements, class rankings; it's as though they believe their children should never have to suffer the indignity of being evaluated.

Mansfield probably wouldn't be the only one complaining...
