Daryl Mitchell and his son watch cattle being rounded-up on a ranch near Cleveland, Montana.
The schools are very small here in rural Montana. Some rural schools often have only a handful of students. In one instance, I'm told, the local grade school had only two pupils; a brother and a sister...and of course the teacher. Hopefully teachers aren't paid based on the number of students.
When children become teens they graduate from their one-room school house and attend high school in Chinook, which is 45 minutes to the north...in good weather.
Perhaps the best classroom, however, is the ranch itself. Some students will graduate to attend college and move away. Others stay and carry on the traditions and the legacy on the ranch.
Someone told me on this day that ranching is quickly becoming a lost way of life. Lucky for me, I have an opportunity to witness it.

Had an opportunity to organize a committee to do a “Take Your Son/Daughter to Work Day” when I worked at CDCR. This day revolves around parents taking their child to work for one day. In the U.S., it occurs on the 4th Thursday in April every year. We had a group of about 25 young people. We organized a educational but fun filled learning day for our co-workers children. The parents were pleased and the kids seemed to have had a really enjoyable day.
The ballot for the mock election held at USAID/DRC for "Take Your Child to Work Day" on April 29, 2016, featured popular Congolese and American performing artists.
Staff from USAID/DRC's Democracy, Human Rights and Governance team explained to children participating in "Take Your Child to Work Day" that USAID supports elections in the DRC and invited them to learn about the electoral process by electing their favorite singer. The children received a short briefing, went through voter registration, cast their vote in a voting booth, deposited their ballot in the ballot box and received an ink mark certifying that they had fulfilled their civic duty.
The USAID Mission in Kinshasa welcomed 34 children between the ages of 4 and 18 for “Take Your Child to Work Day." Sworn in as “employees for the day,” the children were provided “work badges” and toured each team’s office in the Mission - education, finance, economic growth, and democracy, human rights and governance - to learn about USAID’s work in the DRC.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District hosted almost 50 children at the annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day event April 24, 2014 in Wiesbaden, Germany. The mix of USACE and deployed-Soldier children spent the morning with district engineering and construction experts. Upon arriving at the Amelia Earhart Center, Lt. Col. Andy Hemphill welcomed the students, discussed his worldwide experience as an Army engineer and explained that his love of math and science as a child led him to his STEM career. Next up, the Ponds Security K-9 team stopped by to demonstrate their dogs’ ability to detect explosives. The day’s activities continued with Katie Archer, a district civil engineer, testing students’ knowledge of personal protective equipment, or safety gear, to be worn on construction sites; Lawrence Carabajal, a district civil engineer, led the students in building, loading and evaluating a Leonardo Bridge; and Christine Dye, the event organizer and a district contracting specialist, concluded the event with lunch and a group photo.

The U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Directorate of Emergency Services K-9 Unit stopped by the Amelia Earhart Center to participate in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District Take Your Child to Work Day activities April 25, 2013 in Wiesbaden, Germany. The student audience - a mix of USACE and deployed Soldier children -was eager to meet the K-9 dogs and see how they assist Soldiers in their law enforcement work. The unit demonstrated their dogs’ ability to detect drugs and explosives, navigate obstacle courses, tackle suspects and protect their handlers. For safety reasons, the students were unable to dress in the attack training suits, but they were enthused to watch USACE employees suit up and withstand attack.

My office has children perform a mock trial in which they interview witnesses and present a case. The case is usually based off of a children's story and involves various characters as witnesses. Here Caitlin is cross-examing Forrest Gump.
