Baby Think it Over Program

The baby think it over program is a infant simulator that is lifelike, and life-size baby doll will realalistic computer responses. Its being used by many schools to teach teenagers the responsibilities of an infant and to show them the disadvantages of having a child at an early age. The programs goal is to help young people to avoid early pregnacies and sexually transmissable infections.

What is it, and how does it work?

The infant simulator is a lifelike, life-size (20 1/2 inches) vinyl baby weighing 6.5 pounds. It is anatomically correct and available in both sexes and five different ethnicities. An internal computer simulates an infant crying at realistic, random intervals 24 hours a day. Intervals can be adjusted from 15 minutes to 6 hours for a normal, cranky, or particularly easy to care for baby. The parent is given a non-transferable key attached to a hospital bracelet on his or her wrist that must be inserted in the Baby for a specific length of time to simulate feeding, bathing, diaper-changing and comforting. Care sessions last from 5 to 35 minutes. If the baby has been properly cared for, it will coo to signal the end of the session. If it is neglected (allowed to cry for more than one minute) or handled roughly (dropped, thrown or struck), tamper-proof indicators on the computer will alert the instructor.

Snow Days

This week we had 14-15 inches of snow, which caused for the schools to be closed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, which I felt we should of had school because now we only have one snow day left and winter isn't over yet and I really don't feel like making up school days but if it comes down to that then I think we should make them up on days we have off such as Presidents day, Memorial day ect. Then the second alternative could be spring break that way we don't waste away our small summer break.

Football for Girls

The other night I was having a conversation with my mother and sister about having an all girls football team. I thought why not there be football for girls and not just for the "guys". I mean we have softball so why not a girls football team. You always hear about girls complaining cause they can't play on the football team with the boys cause of the dangers involved...so why not have an all girls football team. That way us girls can play without getting tackeled by a guy but a girl.
