I couldn't stand this scenario - I always paniced, saved the game zillion times, and shouted to all my family that I have a Headmaster, so be quiet and don't bother me...:).
LOL! Seriously, am laughing out loud - and I just read your posts out to my partner, who is only too familiar with the terrors of the Headmaster Scenario. We went on holiday in June, when I had only had TS2 for 6 weeks, so I was at the height of my addiction and absolutely <b>had</b> to take the laptop away with us. I was still unfamiliar enough with the game that I didn't realise that the only way to stop sims doing something stupid while the Headmaster is there is to turn off Free Will. So, I spent about 1.5 hours doing the Scenario (couldn't put the game in fast-forward because bad things kept happening), and the kids didn't get accepted (I think they had 87/90 points!). So I wanted to play it again. Poor Richard was standing there saying "um, dear, it's 8.30pm and the pubs stop serving food at 9..." :D
LOL, glad to know I am not alone...:). Oh, these sims will "take us away - ha ha, ho ho"!...:).

Actually... this is a 'feature' put in with NL. The headmaster gets no or minimal points for food until after you get the 'Headmaster is hungry and would like to eat' popup. If you Entertain > Call to Dinner after that point he gets full points for the food. I think the message only crops up fairly late, maybe 8-9pm.
I recently started playing a no-restart-after-disaster neighbourhood, as I was getting bored with my overly cautious previous one. It took me three attempts to get my family accepted by the headmaster post-NL. And with a Wealth father and six kids, that's a lot of wailing and falling about. :-\

Umm, actually, I've been through a lot of Headmaster scenarios since NL and they've all gotten their food points like they used too. Nothing has changed about it as far as I can tell. Except that calling to meal doesn't work.

your'e right calling the headmaster to dinner doesnt work if you want food points in NL. and since my sims are lousy at schmoozin I need the food points a lobster thermidor dinner followed by a fancy dessert has gotten my sims 60 food points .
