Personally I don't really think playable schools will be that entertaining at all. I am assuming that it's going to work exactly like the GTW/active careers where you go to a building and get repetitive tasks all the time.

-Ask for help
-Research blablabla
-Take food from the cafetaria
-Go to the toilet

Personally I do not think that is entertaining gameplay at all. If they are going to do playable schools, i'd rather have them give Simmers full control and freedom, because I can tell you that by the time that pack is a week or maybe two old, Simmers will be bored already and it becomes a nuisance and people don't bother with it anymore.
I think adding onto the schooling system is not a bad idea at all, but please, I hope they will add that as a more minor feature to a Generations EP instead and give kids (and all life stages) more to do when they are not at school.
But to each their own, we will see!
I think what would make it more interesting is having drama. Social cliques, bullying, pulling pranks on teachers, popularity, gossip. I could see the return of the social groups from Sims 3 University too. Things like that would elevate a pack and make it more interesting.
