Staying Smarter: Do you know what the summer slump is?
The summer learning slump happens when you do not have enough learning opportunities over the summer vacation to maintain your current level of knowledge.
The summer slump occurs when you stop learning new skills and practicing using the skills that you gained the past year.
You can prevent the summer slump by doing at least 3 of the following activities during the summer vacation.
