How are you keeping elementary kids busy this summer. We are in VA close to DC and looking for activities not related to weekly summer camps. IMO Those summer camps are not helpful to learn anything just in week. My kid will stay at home and i am trying to figure out monthlong activity kid can do. Enrolled in swimming. Anything else you got going

Who says they they aren't learning at week long camps? They are doing arts and crafts, swimming, playing games, hanging out, etc.

So they learn hand eye coordination, teamwork, physical agility, social skills, how to follow rules, patience, etc.

Plus many camps are available for more than one week, and they mix up the curriculum from week to week to keep the kids interested.

Agree! It totally depends on the camp, but our kids do an outdoor adventure day camp and climbing camps. They learn a ton and are exhausted when they come home.

We don’t do camps every week anymore because they are older and don’t need constant supervision. On the weeks with no camps, they have to read and practice math and/or instrument in the morning and then the afternoon is their own. Summers are supposed to be fun and chill. I just want them to get outside, play, and have fun.

We may do some varsity tutors clubs. One hour virtual classes with interesting topics. Did it in the spring for a bit - art classes, ancient history, some science topics. Kids are 7 and 9.

I enrolled my daughter in a chess class, keeps her busy at home as well, and she keeps practicing. Music lessons could help too. Anything that a child can easily practice at home.

Chess is a great one. Easy to practice in apps… real games or computers. You can learn and play as well to make it something you both learn. But man… what a humbling game haha.

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
