Does your district teach dance lessons during PE? In grade school, our district teaches slow dancing, and middle and high school students are still learning square dancing.

Awesome. Took tap dance in college for PE credit. Dancing can be great cardio and good for developing social skills. I recall learning basic dance stuff in MS back in the days of Disco (Google it, kids). Ok, it was more line dancing because the opposite sex has cooties in 6th grade. And I enjoyed learning square dancing at some point in HS. That was the one that taught the importance of listening and following directions. I applaud anybody that gets this into their curriculum.

Mine doesn't. I'm honestly kind of sad about it having read this post. That sounds like a ton of fun, even if the kids would probably act like they hated it. It'd be the kind of thing they look back on and are glad they had to learn.

That’s a great idea for many reasons. PE is an overlooked and misused class in many places I fear as school sports have become so much more serious. I wish we would disconnect competitive sports from public schooling and be more like Europe with club level sports.

I love sports and my kids were serious travel athletes. But school sports don’t feel like a legitimate part of school anymore.

We did all kinds of fun little dances through elementary school. The popcorn dance was my favorite.

Our students slow dance. I imagine that would lead to some kind of parent backlash. But we do have square dancing in 3rd through 6th grades.

I remember square dancing many years ago in school. I found it to be mortifying. I was always the tallest kid in school and was often made to dance with on of the PE teachers.

I've been tasked with developing an M&A Integration playbook from scratch (I'm in industry and don't have the library of materials/templates you consultants have). Anyone know where to find a decent example, or resources online to help me build one? We will be bringing in consultants eventually to help review/validate what we put together. TIA!

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

8th year associate. Has anyone “made counsel” in the past year and missed out on associate bonuses as a result? I may be promoted this year but I’m honestly afraid I will miss out on market matching bonuses. Counsel comp at my v50 is not bad. But for associates, the firm will match any Cravath/NY bonus, and I’m afraid the individualized nature of counsel comp will result in taking a hit.
