[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is in 1st.  He has come since he was 4 and loves it.
I asked the teacher if it counts as an excused absence.  She didn't know but said to absolutely do it.  She recounted how she loved it as a kid.

I work at the World Bank so there are activities for the kids to learn about what we do here.  That said it is not nearly as organized as when I first joined 17 years ago.  This was back when it was Bring Your Daughters to Work Day.  Each VPU had tons of activities.  It dwindled year by year but seems to be on an upswing. [/quote]

My dad took me in to work at the World Bank in the mid 90s.  I still have a shirt that they gave out at the program.  Very fond memories of going to work with my Dad.  I think it's invaluable - especially since my mom was SAH and had never worked outside the home.

My current office also has a pretty structured program for kids - helping them understand the basics of statistics and health.  I look forward to taking my son when he's a bit older.   We spend so much time at the office and away from our kids; I think it's good that they gain an understanding of what we do all day ;)[/quote]
