Other ideas/relationships that could be fun!

I would love the homeschooling option for all ages from elementary to college as it's way more realistic of having a choice on how to raise your kid in game. I was homeschooled myself for part of my schooling and it made the school/life/work balance so much better. We could then maybe have an option for the parent (and/or just through the computer) to teach the child. The parent would have teaching be a skill-based skill they can train to be more effective at teaching their child. Why should you learn how to read/wright in school if your parent is a professional author for example? At the same time that parent might not be very effective in teaching gym class if they have no fitness skill.
