I know it can be useful in some jobs.
But ehre?
here it's disruptive.
You're a college student, your kid does NOT need to skip school to go to school with you if they can't sit quietly.
And even if they CAN sit quietly? they cannot friggin come in the labs. Not the computer lab. Not the math lab, and REALLY not the science labs--it's NOT SAFE.
And, yes, I know you're an employee, you STILL cannot take Beauford into the chem lab--just...NO.
And passing the kids off to other coworkers is a lousy thing to do.
