Teen High School Ideas
I saw some people complaining about the "American" aspect of that poll. I'm ok with that, but as I'm from Brazil I can share some ideas I've lived in my school. - Elementary School Art Book: At the...

A functioning high school is what I really would like, that we could follow kids to class or actively play as a teacher (both optional of course).
Even more than that I'd want the same thing Primary school for kids
And the feature I want most is homeschooling haha!
I'm in Canada and I had 3 high school years (10-12)and 2 middle school years (grade 8-9)(and 8 elementary school years (K-7).
HOnestly I'd love to see the teen life stage divided so we have preteens. Kids that can have a first crush/date but can't woohoo. Kids that can babysit, but only for younger siblings. Kids that get a paper route (that's still a thing where I live and everyone gets a free weekly newspaper here as well as the option to opt into paid ones). Kids that go to middle school, not high school etc.
I want subject homework and doing it raises skills in those subjects. Maybe even a tie in to uni scholarships (get an A in Math you can get a math based scholarship or something)
Field trips would be great!
Really love your ideas! One little thought I had, though was that pre teen babysitting should not only be for younger siblings. I had six babysitting jobs/week when I was 11! Maybe parents of kids that they know could call them up and ask for babysitting and the pre teen could accept or decline. Rate could be like $7/per hour.
I did too, well age 12 anyways! (I'm 37 now, always loved kids!) but from what I've heard from parents nowadays, they don't seem to want anyone under 16 babysitting, and even that many are saying is too young now! So I wasn't sure if that would be realistic nowadays. Maybe it's just my area though? Here, people also pay babysitters $15/hour/kid (some get away with $10 but then I hear the kids that babysit for them whine and complain about how cheap they were being) which is way out of my budget.
Wow... In some states here, it's technically illegal to leave a child under 16 unattended.
In general it's the parents responsibility if something goes wrong, if the children are not in the care of an adult.
As a result, baby sitters are usually older teens, in upper secondary school, or young adults in tertiary education.
Though, some people do take risks, and leave younger children in the care of their older children, though it would be very unusual for the older child to not be at least a teen.
Aussie babysitters usually get paid about $20 per hour, if they're untrained, and about $28+ per hour if they have qualifications, but a good babysitter can cost up to $40 per hour.
Under 16 illegal? Really?!
Who is held accountable when something goes wrong?
In Australia, it's the parents. Leaving a child in the care of another child is somewhat irresponsible, and so the parents of both kids can be charged.
