Should the Child Development Class and Reborn Baby Project be Taught in Middle School? [POLL]

In high schools across the nation, junior and senior girls are given the responsibility of taking care of a fake baby for a week or sometimes longer. It's known as the Reborn Baby Project and usually is an elective in most high schools called Child Development.  For some of you, when you were in high school they didn't have these computer pooping, eating and crying machines. My mom told me she had to carry around an egg for a week. Eggs can't cry all night  or poop and puke, so if you are old enough to remember having an egg as a baby, you lucked out.

Times have changed a slight bit, especially when it comes to females becoming more sexually active at a younger age. By the time girls are juniors and seniors, they have already become sexually active, and in some cases, pregnant.

Recently, there has been national discussion about teaching Sex Education in elementary schools. If this is something that school districts across the nation are thinking about introducing, then why not introduce the Reborn Baby Project early in schools? I would think it would be put to better use in middle school/junior high, then when teens are already sexually active or getting ready to graduate.

Introducing the Reborn Baby Project earlier could deter teens from becoming sexually active or at least introduce them to the difficult and strenuous tasks of taking care of a baby, and make them want to use protection or birth control. Let's face it, as parents the last thing you want is for your daughter to come home pregnant. Dealing with a fake crying baby for a week while your child is in middle school/junior high would be well worth the head ache if it taught them how time consuming being a parent really is.
