The thing is, the kids and teens get on the bus, I check every one and make sure their lazy plumbob is actually on the bus, but sometimes when I look later they're standing outside of their own home not in front of the school and their stats say skipping school while their grades plummet.
The school bus is just a means of transportation. I would have wanted to follow the kid to school or at least check on them after the bus would have arrived to drop them off to see what happens next. If you focus 100% of your time on the active home lot and totally ignore the world around you, then you aren't playing TS3 and you should have your game taken away from you. >:)
Okay of course I am just kidding, we all have different play styles. But tossing the kids on the bus and then not bothering to check on them throughout the day doesn't match mine. :)
I often disable the buses anyway by way of NRaas SP or Buzzler's Moar Interactions mod and make the kids find other ways to get to and from school. Same with carpools for actives employed in rabbithole careers, but it depends on the world and the household. Boarding schools are, for me, a non-starter. I let my sims have kids, lots of them and too many in some cases, because I love helping to raise them, not so that I can send them away for sim weeks at a time. Others of course feel differently.

If you don't place a school in your town what happens? Does the school bus not come and they just not go? I love worlds like Dragon Valley but that darn bus always annoys me, it doesn't fit in.
Again, then get rid of the bus (does require a mod) and give your town's kids some bicycles or other form of transport. But if there are no schools in town, then there are no school buses and no pushes to go to school or punishments for skipping because there are no schools to go to. Also no opportunities or wishes related to education, no proms or graduations, kids won't have anywhere to go daily to be forced to learn senseless conformity (or math) each day and be fed a barely edible school lunch. This is really what you want for the upcoming generations? As a taxpayer whose hard work funds such services, I would be appalled at such a notion. :p
