Did you ever have to do the egg baby project, in school?

The project was simple.
Everyone got a hard-boiled egg, and had to draw something unique on it, in permanent marker.
Then. You had to copy whatever you drew, and give the copy and egg to the teacher, for inspection.
Then. The project began.
You had to carry the egg baby with you, for a certain number of days. At the end of the time period, the teacher would grade you on the condition of your egg baby. Obviously. The goal was to preserve your egg baby, with no damage. Using the copy you gave, the teacher could verify that you hadn’t cheated.

When I had to do it. I think I was like 12… They did it all at once. So the entire 7th grade was carrying eggs around. It made for an interesting week.
There were accidental egg cracks or deaths, negligently damagd eggs, lost eggs, and indeed murdered egg babies.
The experience was fun, and wild. It also gave rise to egg baby serial killers.

I JUST was reminded about the project. Otherwise. I had forgotten.

Does anyone know if they even do this, schools, anymore?

Thoughts, stories, confessions?...
