Class Teaches Teens About Responsibilities of Parenting
"Since last Thursday… a Vidalia High School [MS] sophomore has been caring for a mechanical baby that needs all the tender, loving care a newborn baby needs. She fed, soothed, cleaned and changed the diaper of her lifelike doll equipped with sensors that recorded her every move 24 hours a day. Her parenting class teacher will receive a report from the electronic doll that will be used to determine [the student’s] final grade." [Source: The Natchez (Missouri) Democrat]The student admitted to the newspaper that she has been spending a lot less time with her friends, and that caring for the baby is harder than she expected.
"I'm not having kids anytime soon," she said.
