The Rebbe acknowledges the summer learning arrangements and increased enrollment, though notes it's still insufficient given the urgent need. He approves the students' Lag BaOmer trip to Meron and urges continued follow-up with those inspired there, emphasizing the ongoing responsibility in spreading Yiddishkeit. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/009/5484
This is an encore episode — and with good reason. As the school year winds down and summer approaches, the “summer slide” — the loss of academic progress over the break — becomes a very real concern once again.

In this conversation, Kevin revisits a timely discussion with Aaron Dworkin, CEO of the National Summer Learning Association, about how the right summer programs don't just prevent learning loss — they help students come back stronger, more confident, and ready for what's next. Because summer doesn't have to be a setback. It can be a springboard. This is what I know. Meet Aaron Aaron Dworkin is the CEO of the National Summer Learning Association, which works to ensure all young people in America, especially the most vulnerable, can access and afford a high-quality summer learning experience every year. —----------------------------------------------- K12's innovative programs give students a head start on their healthcare career journey.

The middle months are those wonderful summer months when most of us have ended our formal academic year and are taking a break to travel, see family and enjoy a lighter, more laid-back schedule. Though most of us are vacationing, we don't want to take a complete break from learning. In fact, some of the most impactful, enjoyable learning happens in these months—and sometimes while on vacation! Making the most of the middle months is simply looking at June, July and August and seeing what learning opportunities are embedded there. It's about learning differently and often in ways that are more carefree and fun for your family. There are many different educational topics and opportunities unique to the summer months that won't be available when formal homeschooling starts back in the fall. With a little review and a little planning, you can ensure your family experiences the best the middle months have to offer.
