I think this is a very good idea :) but would you have to do this every school day? Like, one day could you let the sim do their own thing in school and you control the sims at home?

It should be like how the jobs are in GTW, so you don't have to play them everyday and have it become repetitive.

I had an idea like this too, classes could be great for skill building.

If the kids can continue to progress (even a little bit) while you send them on their own then I think it could work -- they'd just progress faster when you go with them. Otherwise it can get to be a bit hairy trying to control a large family with several kids in school; maybe leave in the traditional "rabbit hole" school as an option for some Sim children/teens. I usually try to switch control to my Sim children when they get home from school if my scientist has finished enough of his daily tasks to end up at the top of the performance meter, but I'm not sure if I'm short-changing him in the meantime.

How about adding home schooling/study at home options? My Sim child (oddly enough, the alien kid) has had to stay home from school twice because he was sick -- an option to study at home so you don't lose school performance would be nice. Also bring back the "Do Homework With..." interaction, so Sims can do homework together (especially if you bring home friends or invite friends over after school). Doing homework with other Sims (whether friends or siblings) should improve Social and Fun needs. Also add the Help with Homework interaction for teens with younger Sims; my teen brother helped me with homework quite a bit, since both our parents worked so weren't necessarily home when I was studying.
