==The Sims 3==
[[File:TS3-School.jpg|left]]Children and teens go to school at either Community School for the Gifted in [[Sunset Valley]], Truelong Community School in [[Riverview]], Stary Community School in [[Twinbrook]], Public School 67 in [[Bridgeport]], Crestview School and Stadium in [[Appaloosa Plains]], Everglow Academy and Coliseum in [[Moonlight Falls]], Gooder Public School in [[Starlight Shores]], or Par Excellence Preparatory School from ''[[The Sims 3: Town Life Stuff|Town Life Stuff]]''. It is also the place where older Sims can attend [[painting]] class, get a job in the [[education]] career track{{Vgversion|TS3:A}} or enroll in [[Sims University|university]].{{Vgversion|TS3:UL}}
 
Children attend elementary school from 9:00am to 3:00pm, while teenagers attend high school from 9:00am to 2:00pm; the earlier end time exists to benefit teens who have part-time jobs. Teens who are not employed will still be let out at 2:00pm, which can be used as a good opportunity to get their homework done. Both school types share the same building. Unlike previous games in ''The Sims'' series, children are not taken away from their families for getting an F.
 
The school bus will automatically appear to drive students to school, although Sims can opt to get there via other means, such as by biking or driving. If there are more than two schools, the Sim will attend the one that's closest to their home. Players can choose from a number of sub-interactions while the Sims are at school. Sims can be instructed to slack off, work harder, or meet and socialize with friends. Once school ends, the school bus will appear to drive them home, although this interaction can be cancelled if players wish to send them somewhere else.
 
Sims can now receive detentions at school. If they are caught sleeping in class, copying homework (tasks the player can assign kids while they're at school) or busted when pranking the school (outside school hours), they will be kept behind after school for a few hours, which can interfere with part-time jobs. Sims are less likely to receive a detention if their grades are higher than a "B". While staying back late, the student can choose their tone but they will not see any improvement in grades or performance; however, if a Sim's mood is low, their grade might decrease. When detention is over, the school bus will not appear to bring them home, and the Sims will need to get home on their own.
