Teens Get A Taste Of Life In The Real World

You might have noticed some pint-sized guests at your workplace today. Don't worry, though: nobody's breaking any child labour laws.

It's Take Your Kid to Work Day, which aims to help kids understand what it's like in the real, working world of deadlines and water cooler chats.

Susan Tipper of PALS (Partners Assisting Local Schools) tells CHSJ News the kids are learning a lot and having fun at the same time.

Some of the kids begged to differ though, saying while it's a great excuse to get out of school it's not the most exciting thing they've ever experienced.

250,000 Grade 9 students across Canada participate in Take Your Kid to Work Day.
