take your child to work day, yes or no? Options

[*xcaitlinx*]

for some odd reason, this year, our school district has made "take your child to work day" practically a holiday. We received a notice last week that stated that every student that was absent on this day (Thursday), would be counted as in school. So basically, everyone in my school will not be absent, whether they actually went to work with their parents or not. I'm really glad because I can stay home from school that day without anyone knowing that I played hookie. (my parents dont care)

Are you going to your parent(s)' work? does your school have the same rule?

I used to get every year when I was in elementary. It wasnt recognised as that big of a hoiday or anythimg, very few kids even knew about, and you had to write a paper and do a presentation on what you saw and did, which was cool cuz my cousin (my legal guardian at the time) worked at fina oil and chemical, so I learned all this stuff about how they dont just produce oil and gas, but they make cds and styrofoam products and stuff. It was a big deal at the company, they would like, have games and presentations for us the whole day, food...and it was a 26 story building so me and a friend of mine whos mom also worked there, would take the elevator all the way to the top floor, and alllll the way to the bottom. We tried climbing the stair once...yeah. But yeah it was a lot of fun, you just had to prove you went. Since they always gave us loads of souvineirs, that was easy enough. :D
