I like the idea, and I agree it should be optional. Having an option to turn off joining school/careers that way we can toggle both on and off (individually) as we please, would be great. For school, it would be hard to follow multiple children/teens to school. I would not mind it was was scaled down where we could follow students for special occasions; field trips, science fairs, prom etc. I do not always want to follow my sims to work, especially if I am trying to meet goals within a challenge I am working on.
Overall, it is a fun idea!
