Yeah this sadly. I would have liked to have some options.. or instead of TELLING us things with chance cards why not SHOW us? Kind of disappointing.
Unfortunately, "tell don't show" seems to be TS4's motto... The most egregious one for me was the health class one, where it specifically states that the sim got out of the rest of the class if they fainted, but they just keep sitting there like nothing happened. Also I think the chance cards are completely random since (I forget who it was, possibly James Turner?) someone got a chance card for a class they weren't even in at the time.
I really don't understand why we don't at least have the same options that we had before when our sims were attending school. Why can't they sleep at their desk, and maybe get caught for it (raise energy level)? Why can't they play games on their phone (raise fun)? Why can't they talk to their seat mate (raise social)? Why can't they study hard or refuse to take notes (impact on energy and fun)?
I saw someone mention it might have to do with the musical chairs problem that TS4 has, where if they tried to do something else at their desk, they would get up and do it in another chair. I guess I can see that problem happening, but then, like, maybe try to fix this problem finally? People have been frustrated with the musical chairs for years now.
