Hello everyone,
I know there are discussions about schools and high schools but I didn't see this idea yet, well not how imagined it anyway.
So I thought that if schools come in the game one day, they should make them like retails and vet clinic where we create our own schools if we want. Although it would be really great if they make a similar system as clubs in get to work.
1) Create, design and manage your own school
First of all, it would be really fantastic to be able to create the school where our children attend to. We can also design everything in it and manage the school if we want (teachers outfits, teaching skill level, etc). Also we could choose if the school wear uniforms or not for the students.

2) Choose the classes
This is the most interesting part: Creating the school should allow us to choose the classes that are taught in the school, for that we could choose between all the skills available in the game (and maybe new skills that come with the pack). The teachers must have level 7 or more in those skills to teach them. So the school furnishing would depends on our choices: if we chose to make a school with cooking classes we have to put stoves in some classroom; if we put a fitness class then we need to put some items to do so.
If we do that we should be able to choose our sims schedules (timetables) regarding what the school they attend to has as programms. For exemple on monday morning the school has cooking classes, then at registration, our sim can choose that for the simester and will go everyday at the same class schedules. This could work like how discover university did but without all the external homeworks and preparations to do.
This system should integrate occult ranks (so if we want a magic school we could actually create one)! Vampire lore is an in game skill so that would already help; but using the ranks could allow the vampiric battles that improve the abilities of vampires; or teaching magic at the virtuoso rank.
3) specialize your school
Also, thanks to that freedom we could create our own type of schools: art school; military schools; culinary school; sports school; science school; even a prep school (with charisma skill as the number one skill); drama school; magic school; dog training school (why not).
I know that for kinds we begin with 4 sklls only but that shouldn't be a problem in my opinion.
If they take a similar system as get together, we could even go further and have a selection by gender and traits. Having a all girl school for exemple, or imagine a school where only snob sims go. That will also allow us to have occult school (a vampire school, or an only occult school where humans can't go)
What do think?
