I agree that most companies wouldn't give you a "real" look with that many children around, either. But then again, I'm always for an excuse to cut class... ;-)</p> The top 5% of my class were invited to a “become a Conoco exec for a day” thing (and our school didn’t penalize us for going) — but it was one of the most lame things I’ve ever been to — nothing like a real work day at all.

Usually companies put special programs for the day. I think summertime is a better time for the kid to see where you work. Some days, I spend most of the time at the computer and not in meetings, so there would not be anything to see.</p> Lyle – that’s a great point. Usually companies put special programs for the day.

I'd prefer my kids just stay in school -- they have all their summer vacation to come to work with me if they like.</p> My sense is that Take Your Kid to Work Day is a great idea — but in practice, your kid doesn’t really get to see what you do, rather they see what you do on a special day when your kid is visiting.
