Would you like an "Elementary School Days" Expansion?
As the title says... I wouldn't mind an expansion in regards to elementary school for the child life stage. o:)

I would love it!
But, I don’t want clubs that are rabbit holes. I want them to be able to do after school activities in the pack like ballet and karate, being able to throw a baseball to each other or a parent.
I’d like them to have science projects that deal with things like frogs (base game), insects (outdoor retreat), rats etc. (My first pet stuff), like have them in the classroom, learn about them, go on a field trip to find and collect them (well the insects and frogs anyway). Maybe introduce a new pet like lizards and tarantula’s in the pack. I remember teachers having things like iguanas and tarantula’s in class while I (and my children) were in grade school. Have a science project (parenthood) and participate in a contest with it. Also, this would be a great time to add a small microscope. Learning math, like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, maybe using flash cards for math. And reading, they could get extra credit by reading books and doing book reports on them. Another thing for them to study could be art, we already have all of those art desks in base game and many packs, and the clay. Perhaps they could add paper mache projects. Maybe a different class each day of the week. They could also introduce choir and band/orchestra, introduce some new instruments. That would make one different class per week, and a large recess/lunch. In an elementary pack they could drop tests, instead just have them spend a little time practicing one of the subjects for a brief time at home. And they should have an extensive recess, we already have the monkey bars, maybe they could add tetherball, 4 square, and hopscotch. Who doesn’t remember recess in grade school?? And for a base game update I would like chikdren being able to play things like tag, cops and robbers, marbles and jacks. If they added things like this grade school could be a really exciting time, and not a drag.
I do think like someone else mentioned though, that you should be able to join your sim, or send them alone.
Anyway, I think they could make a fantastic childhood pack adding elementary school, and some exciting things to do there.
