Though honestly I started babysitting at age 12 and I could never get enough kid-time, it was way too much fun. The process might have the exact opposite effect of what you're going for.
Babysitting and observing daycare are not anywhere close to actually having a child, like not even on the same planet. Any class that comes anywhere close to imparting knowledge of reality is going to drive that home in a big way. Not that I don't think it's possible for such a course to cause teenagers to actively want to produce a baby, but I think it's pretty unlikely.

As for the justification for having children, it boils down to the same justification every person ever has used for anything they have ever done: 'because I fucking wanted to'
