Clark Anne Arundel Bureau of The Sun ANNAPOLIS Maryann Orme thinks goldfish watching is a pretty good way to teach high school stu- dents the responsibility of child care, i' So, the Broadneck Senior High School teacher asked her child development class to spend a week in the company of the creatures. That meant that each of the 26 girls and two boys in her class received a goldfish to be carried ev- erywhere in the school hallways, classes, in cars, on dates and even to physical education classes. The students' only relief was that they could farm the goldfish out to a boy friend, girl friend or parent.

But the respites were not to exceed 12 hours. The students kept the fish in wide-mouthed jars in most cases. There were instances when water Z. sloshed out, while driving, and when a jar fell and broke, during physical education class. During the week-long activity, six of the goldfish died, but that was primarily because they were either overfed or because the water in the freshly cleaned bowl was too warm or too cold for the fish, throwing them into a state of shock, Mrs.

Orme said. "The purpose of the course is to educate those who want to be par-rents in the future or who want to 1 teach young children during their career," Mrs. Orme said. She added that her 28 students would later be assigned to work with children, as part of their course work. "Some of the students were not ready for that responsibility.

Some of them just couldn't wait to give the fish, while others kept them," the teacher at the Arnold high school said. Keeping track of a goldfish during class in a high school didn't go swimmingly all the time, said 17-year-old Karen Judy. Boys in some of her classes tried, at various times, to steal her fish or threw staples and erasers in the mayonnaise jar the fish called home, she said. 1 Cathy Urlock, 17, said her boy friend helped her watch "Amber," her assigned goldfish, and, after he left for Marine Corps boot camp, she wrote to tell him that the goldfish had died. "It was a lot of responsibility," said 15-year-old Michelle Benner.

"I do intend to have children later, but I will not have any goldfish." Mrs. Orme said the goldfish watchers generally were an overpro-tective group. "When a death happened, it was I very traumatic," the teacher said. anything, these goldfish were overloved." After the week-long exercise, which ended recently, she said the I students evaluated their assignment there was considerable discus- sion equating the responsibility of fish-watching with caring for children.

When raw, infertile eggs were the vogue in the class, the student would 'carry them around in a small "crib" they built. Often, they drew faces pasted human hair on them. "We were not meeting our goals with the eggs," Mrs. Orme said.

I "They the students had to learn the responsibility for something that is dependent on you. I changed it to goldfish this school year because the eggs were not dependent enough." Gina Massimino, 17, wrote in her class diary about how the death of the goldfish in her care, had made her feel "so sad."
