TOYS Teachers Crazy About Cyberbabies Continued from Page 31 is not "fun and games You can't just drop off a baby and leave Tamagotchis and their knockoffs can teach the same lessons about responsi bility if thildren and their parents take the virtual pets seriously Ms Nelson says 3 Last year the occasional Tamagotchi made a 'brief appearance in her class room year she says she hasn seen one problem is they go off like vVatcH alarms and they can drive a teachermuts I don't think kids are comfortable enough with their teachers to drive them nuts While school personnel have solidi fied their positions pro or con lots of parents'still aren't sure what to make of the virtua pet craze This summer one mom watched in bemtiSement as her fifth grade daugh ter begged her ninth grade son to baby sit her Tamagotchi while she was at camp The teen ager reluctantly agreed but he wouldn't let his friends see him with it Another mom Jean Treider found herself baby sitting her Nano Baby at work was a Nano she says At the moment the Nano Baby is re covering from an accidental swim in the toilet bowl but before that Mrs Treider says she believes her 8 year old did learn a few lessons we had it that first weekend she told me want to have a baby any time Mrs Treider says she thinks the virtual pets are good for some kids and bad for others bad she says for kids who are prone to substitute video screens for playmates guess how long this toy trend is going to last But a sure bet that this kid fad like many others before it eventually will peter out almost a sure bet that it won't happen
