different type of schools ??

I never really found it too hard to get into private school. Just make sure you have someone in the family who is an awesome cook, give someone the job of touring and the rest of the people can schmooze. I agree with what Alyssa, make sure you have everything prepared and getting your sims into private school is a wizz!

That's an awesome idea! I'd love for my sims to be a bit clumsy at times... Or if your sim child doesn't get along with their brother or sister, they could pull a prank on each other and take one of their homework book out when they aren't paying attention. Or maybe even their dog could quite literally "eat my homework".

Also, I'm not sure I like it in TS2 when kids come home from school earlier than teens do. In real life they all come home at the same time... But what would be nice is if the toddlers could go to nursery, and come home at about lunchtime. What would be cute is if they brought little snack boxes into school for break time.

What about after school care? Say, for example, if their mum and dad work until 5.00 each night, the kids might have to stay behind at school to do their homework or whatever, and then their parents would come and pick them up after they've finished work. And the kids could maybe get really angry if the parents are late.

Maybe teenagers could get into big trouble if they were caught passing notes around the class or cheating in a test. It would be alright if they had to revise for an exam every now and again (but not so much that it would take over their lives), and if they didn't revise, they might either get all the answers completely wrong, or they could copy someone else's work. If they chose to do things their own way and get a low mark, maybe the teacher would propose that they discuss what they might be struggling with. However, if they chose to be rebellious and risk copying from the person next to them's work, some sort of punishment might be in order, and their parents could receive an email or phone call.

Suspension and expulsion are good ideas as well, but these have been discussed on other threads. But I can really picture all my good, clever nerdy sims all working hard, getting no detentions whatsoever, and then my rebellious students getting awful grades, not handing in homework, getting suspended and maybe even expelled.

It would add so much more excitement into your sims school lives.
