Their computer system must had gotten the update wrong.
Idk, they changed the update, I thought, but I guess that he programmed something else to say TS3 is out, when the date reaches the 20th, and hasn't changed that.
Off topic:
That's what they done here. They split the schools up into career academies. Like students wanting to go into engineering would take Physics and computer classes, and higher math, and the teachers would take related classes, etc.
They do that in all the high schools, besides my old high school. It's a college prep, like one of the top 50 in the country. They still want to hold back kids. Like if a kid isn't full IB, the highest they can take is Honors College Algebra. There's no in between, like plain calculus. Then if the kid is IB, they can take up to IBS and IBH calculus. I think it is so stupid. I believe kids shouldn't be limited to that...like the non IB kids are too dumb to take calculus. Same thing with Physics. But good thing about going to my school, is that you take a lot of hard classes that makes colleges want you like Chemistry, and AP Eng. Comp. 2, all honors.
We had stupid teachers that didn't want to help the class, those kind the parents hated...FOR A GOOD REASON. They ended up getting fired anyways...teachers talked. One like flunked our whole 12th grade class, and she was so horrible, the schools wrote a letter to give to all the colleges we were applying to an excuse for our math grade, really saying don't count that grade, and I still got my full scholarship. She was that HORRIBLE. One got fired for flunking two students, and when the principal asked, she cussed out the principal.
My point is that the kids aren't really getting taught properly. I heard in a lot of countries, if the kid act stupid, they would just get put out the class, or if they usually acted stupid, the community would look down on them, or you'll just be a fool your whole life. It should be like that here.
And it all starts in elementary school. My mom works at one. When the election was going on, my mom suggested to a teacher that the kids should learn about the election process, and the teacher said, "Why do I have to teach them that! That isn't important! The parents should teach that." I couldn't believe my ears! Here, kids in elementary school are too busy making cupcakes and paper houses, and playing math games...everything being an art or craft today. When I was in 1st grade, we had those old teachers in still, the ones that been teaching since the 70s or earlier, we had spelling, vocab, writing exercises, grammar, math, phonics, science--which wasn't fun, social studies, and all in the 1st grade. If a kid acted up, the kid would get set straight by the teacher, and the teacher wouldn't have to yell. One teacher didn't care if she couldn't whip kids, she sent home permission forms for her to whip our butts and all the parents gave her permission. I got smart mouthed with her a few times, but gotten lucky...I guess my aunt was the secretary and could had taken care of me, but my family does not touch each other's kids. I was really learning then.

That's how my mom is. She cusses every day, gets attitude with me... no, EVERYONE, fast. She tells me to respect her or whatever, but how am I supposed to do that when I have a role model like her? She's horrible to my grandma and great-grandma. So much so that she's made them cry before, and every day she tells me to call my grandma because she doesn't want to talk to her. Of course, my grandma calls her anyway, and my mom always answers the phone saying, "What, Martha?" And I can't even say the bad things my mom did when she was a kid.

Snooty sims appears broken to me.lol.{rolleyes} It just doesn't load.
and yeah, schools today where I'm from are plain boring, because the teachers are bored and stressed, so they don't communicate with their students in any way. Teachers would often come to class, ramble the lesson, then go back to the cancelaria and then to another class, doing the same thing and so on. It's all on the surface. {glare} And students are bored as hell too... bullying the others, throwing gum, starting paper ball fights and so on...during their classes. Most of us prefer skipping school, tho. {rolleyes} But many prefer to stay and get on the teachies nerves, then get kicked out of the class due to their desire to run their lesson in silence...
I used to skip classes myself in HS. Sometimes because I didn't study and I needed a new mark for my report card, so...sprint! {lol}
And I also got kicked once by the Music teacher-she was an old funny-looking fag, because she brought a casette with some opera, when I burst into laughing along with my other classmates. She picked me, poop happened. {rolleyes} But it was fun, nonetheless. Now I'm LMAO everytime I remember that.

I get out very late June / start of July and go back in the middle of August...:|
And also my specific school system,is lazy. I'm not even joking,so they want to let us early.
It's kinda boring,because some of my friends don't get out until like your time[In June].
We don't even get teached as much as other systems. Mostly because half of the students don't care,or don't feel like caring. And we're in school for like 9-10 months. -.-

I always thought the reason American kids get so much time off is because they have to go to school an extra 2 years... but then I realised that most of the world actually graduates at 17/18, similar to the US. Well, you guys are lucky, in the Summer over here we split right at the end of July and go back the first week of September. Got to be honest though, I end up being bored by the time late August gets here. {yawn}
Anyhoo, I'm a little apprehensive to say this, but I actually wasn't all that depressed on the 20th. I barely even remembered until someone on MSN reminded me. {unsure} It's this ludicrous delay. I'm so disappointed by it that I've almost completely lost interest in the game now. I don't even read the updates, only pictures.
