16 Exposure As Parents Many students plan to have a family, but do they really know what they are planning for? Parenting, taught by Miss Gertsch and Mrs. Nelson, informs students about the various responsibilities of parenting. In class the students learn about prenatal care, the development of the fetus, and delivery procedures. The classes also discuss the develop- ment of the child from one to five years and experience the different age groups through day care centers. Day care centers are held during class periods; students babysit youngsters of various ages to learn why children act as they do. The students also discover if they enjoy being around children. Egg-caring teaches the class in the first lessons of raising a child. The students are given one hard-boiled egg which they had to care for just like a baby, keeping it in continual sight. During such periods as P.E. or marching band practice, students must get a reliable “egg sitter. The classes even had major and minor cases of egg neglect, egg abuse, and egg knapping. Terry Donald- son and Miss Gertsch were found guilty of egg abuse and egg neglect. Egg-caring was to show the class the responsibilities of caring for a baby. Both teachers hope to have a permanent day care center at South and to enroll boys in the class since they will be parents too.
