Get to School: All your ideas here!
Hi all! o/ So, "Get to School" is something most of us want. Not just university, but a whole multi-life stage integrated learning experience. From toddlers to elders (and maybe the dead?). So, pleas...

In a Get To School expansion, I would like to see:
-- An "active" teacher career, you can be an elementary or high school teacher, or a college professor. I would really like to see schools that we can build and view in the neighborhood, but if they have to be hidden lots like the hospitals and science warehouses I understand. Grudgingly. I expect to be able to see neighborhood kids etc though, don't waste my time spawning ugly badly dressed townie kids to whom I am not attached.
-- An added option for "Active" elementary and high schools (just like active careers, where you can follow one child or teen to class at a time).
The current school rabbitholes could be considered default public schools; the "active" schools could be considered private schools and your sim parents would have to enroll their children and teens in a private/active school before they could attend.
I have no preference one way or another as to whether the "impress the headmaster" scenario/event should return with it.
-- A new option for Home School, where kids do extra homework daily, assorted group projects, and Study Groups could be a thing.
-- Night school for the adult sim with a day job, online classes for the shop owner.
-- The addition of universities/colleges for the young adult through elder ages. Adults and elders can go back to school for degrees to jump several promotions in their chosen field. Sims can learn new skills faster in a skill-dedicated classroom.
-- It's silly, but if they could add the option to turn on/off a summer vacation option, that would be a nice touch.
-- Fun skill-based flavor classes like woodshop!
* I'd like to see new stuff added to the woodworking table, entire furniture sets, and multiple wood color/stain/paint options!
* Classes that teach sims how to cook, and cooking tests that you would have to complete by making a certain quality of food.
* Perhaps adding new skills like sewing/knitting new clothes, that you can only learn through an active or online course?
-- Campus-held skill competitions would be fun, with appropriate new prizes for the winners.
-- Perhaps cars could make a comeback via an autobody class that teaches you how to rebuild or fix cars. School buses could return to pick up kids and teens, cars and garage door become available to buy in build/buy mode, and Mechanic could be another new active career.

-- Certain events would be fun to see, like elementary, high school, or college graduations, prom or homecoming parties, etc. It might be fun to follow sim parents to the school play, or a bake-off/fundraiser.
-- Can we get scout cookies set up for sale in front of various venues?
