Don't really care what the school says, but my employer expects me to do what he wants when I'm in the office.
Babysitting isn't on his list
+1 to that. Whenever I went to my parents' place of work, I either helped in any small way possible or stayed out of the way and perfectly quiet. I made sure I had something to keep me entertained because I knew (more really THOUGHT because it hardly ever happened) it'd be a slap or something if I interrupted them constantly during their workday.
**EDIT: And having held a professional position now in some cases I find it rather obnoxious when parents DO bring their kids to work. More often than not it's perfectly fine and it depends largely upon your duties but bringing a loud, crying child into an office when you have a roommate is totally unacceptable in my book (and I've seen it done).
The VAST majority of the kids in this nation are public school educated.
More moms work now than ever before meaning day care and kids looking after themselves until mom or dad gets home.
Anyone wanna argue that, overall, the young adults we churn out these days are doing just fine?
Nope. I'm one of them and I'm fairly bitter about my generation... not for the regular adolescent nonsense, but more for the culturally-induced delusions they have about relationships, money, work, and life in general. I could list you a bunch of REALLY depressing things I've heard people say around school, but the internet could do that for you too - it's all true.
