I follow my teens to school, mostly so I can see who shows up each day.
My teens are usually in groups of two or more, so the events can be pretty tedious. I am not really aiming for the events to get through the day, just more focused on getting my teens to interact with each other. I know I can use my Get Together for a teen hangout, which I may do later on, but High School years is a good way to get my teens to interact without it.
Each day the same teens don't arrive, so it can be annoying. However, it gives my teens options to build bonds, and scope out potential future spouses. I do plan to pair some of the teens I made together, and have them meet at the school, but also want to give them the option of townie Sims to date.
