Did anyone have to do that project in high school where you take a computerized doll home with you for a while so you know what it's like to be a parent? (I had to do it (6 years ago). Does anyone think that it really works? (I dont.) All you have to do with the doll is stick a key in its back when it cries to "feed" it. No burping required, no diapers, no colic, nothing but a key. And you had to make sure you supported its head so it wouldnt fall back. We only had to do it for a weekend because teachers didnt want it messing up our homework and school time. How is this supposed to teach kids to not have kids? Granted, I didnt like getting up in the midde of the night to stick a key in a dolls back but its nothing compared to actually having a kid! I think these dolls are completely ineffective. Maybe schools should concentrate more on sex education and the risks and consequences rather than giving kids a toy doll to keep for the weekend. Any thoughts?

Well at least you had a doll we had to look after an egg for a week, lol, and no I think it's a very silly idea and shows you absolutely nothing when it comes to childcare, I 100% agree with u

My sister had to do that. You had to put the key in in less than thirty seconds and that was it. It was sooo unrealistic. I have had to finish peeing, or turn the stove off/down etc and it took a lot longer than 30 seconds to get to the baby. A few times, the baby had to sit in the bouncy seat and cry until I finished my bath. It took a lot more than a key to fix my real babies. It is not onl unrealitic but serves only to teach them that the adults will say anything (lying too) to convince them of something. I think that teenagers should be loaned to new mothers. They should have to go over after school and help the new moms until 8:00pm. They should have to help cook, clean, take care of the baby and do their homework too. Two weeks of that would help the moms a lot and the kids would learn what it is actually like to take care of a baby.

WHAT AN IDIOTIC THING TO MAKE MONEY FOR SOME GREEDY COMPANY! TELL ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS BABIES ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG ---THEY WILL DESTROY YOUR YOUNG LIFE, BABIES DO NOT GIVE LOVE--THEY DEMAND LOVE--THEY CONSTANTLY DEMAND ALL THROUGH THE DAY AND EVEN THE NIGHT.
ONLY LONELY LOSERS HAVE BABIES EARLY, THEY DO IT FOR ATTENTION FROM PEOPLE THEN THEY SOON FIND OUT THEY ARE THE ONES HAVING TO GIVE THE ATTENTION! HAVE FUN, TRAVEL, GO TO COLLEGE,
