[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 25539, member: 1697"] All our 8th graders HAVE to do this project, and sometimes the end result is not what you think it is going to be...there was a computer inside ours and while PCs baby did not cry much, she failed the project anyway, (cannot remember why- her baby did not cry much, tho) My difficult children doll cried all day all nite, and problem was she also had something else going on during the time she had to do the darn baby project- maybe a sleep deprived EEG? (again I do not remember) and her baby cried ALL the time, - thru the nite, it woke her every 20-40 mins the entire nite. Our kids did this project a full week. difficult child was also trialing a new medication during that time that already was messing with her. easy child failed and had to do it a 2nd week, difficult child passed with an A+!!!!!!!!!!- it totally blew my mind. Ours had a key thing that was attached and irremoveable from the kids wrist that had to be inserted into the dolls back to prove "care given" If the kids cut their off, the computer knew and they failed. They also had to use car seats if in a car. If you tipped the baby or shook it, it was recorded on the co mputer. If you failed to figure out WHY the doll cried and did not do certain things, it recorded it, and the computer knew if you "played" with the doll, too, and you had to have x amount of play time and giggles from the doll. This is a r equirement for our 8th graders to pass middle school in my district. Sadly, I am not sure if it has helped reduce the teen preg rate here. My easy child and difficult child had so many peers who had babies in HS already! I think I heard a rough guess of 10% of the girls here are preg before finishing HS!!!!!! WAY too many! [/QUOTE]
