I assume parents that work from home do not pull their kids out on this day to observe you working from home.

The NIH has an absolutely GLORIOUS bring your child to work day, with labs opening their doors to present their research and do fun age-appropriate experiments, campus events, movies, petting zoos, etc. My older kid went with my husband to dissect a cow eye, see the Da Vinci surgical robot in action, watch a movie; while I toured the mice facilities with my youngest. Years later, she still remembers the nest of baby mice she saw (she's aware of experiments done to them, obviously).

It's a dream come true for many STEM-minded kids.

I was just coming to say this! My kids were younger when my husband brought them - 7 and 5 maybe? But they had a boatload of activities for them and the kids had a blast. Came home with scrub tops and hats (disposable) and small redbud seedlings. They absolutely loved it.

Heck, they could have served up caviar for lunch, all paid for by us, American taxpayers. Nice of them to be so generous while making us pay for it. How about one of their super rich elites donate the funds?

+1. Your tax dollars at work. So much for equity

Federal workers don’t even get free water at work. Either drink tap water or bring your own water.

Our MCPS MS contacted by email and autodial to say that this day could be excused.

Is the day excused by MCPS or per individual schools?

Are you cognitively impaired?

All the activities are educational, and serve to orient kids to the sciences, at a time when the US needs to import thousands of scientists to implement its national security goals (yes, biological, chemical and physical science endeavors are part of our national security).

You're really going to equate luxury food with interesting kids in careers your country needs for the future?

YOU

ARE

STUPID.

Why does it matter? Everything can be made up in McPs for an indefinite amount of time. No matter how little effort or time in class from your kid, the responsibility falls on the teacher to get your kid’s grades up. The bar keeps getting lower and lower

Middle school, yes. High school, no idea…mine will be going to school.

My workplace also has tons of activities and my kids love it. It’s sad that some don’t make the effort.

Awesome. Taxpayer funded. Excellent opportunity for a few chosen kids.

Our agency doesn’t provide water. Bring your own from home.
