Yeah they should make it like the school mod, and also bring back Universities. Have some sort of Education pack. Afterschool activities that you could attend in community lots. The same way a sim invites you to a lot, it could say 'Bibi's Ballet class starts soon - go with? send sim by self'
This is why I miss the open world from TS3, I used to have my teens bunking off in the park or the coffee shop etc. Or the smart sims going to the library, the kid doing her homework but wanting to go play with her friends.
