Headmaster WTF moment.
jsalemi:
And the richer sims can use jfade's "Bribe the Headmaster" aspiration reward to get the kids into private school.

Under the house rules I play under, I don't have fine control over the timing of Try For Baby. Essentially, I'll have the Sims do it if at least one Sim has Want Woohoo and one has Want Baby. This can be the same or different Sims.
With those rules, I'd just not bother to have sex on any other day. Doing It Wrong is a MASSIVE penalty.
Gus Smedstad:
I'm still not quite getting why a few days delay is a massive penalty. Is private school really that much better than public? I haven't paid close attention to the motive decay rates.

J. M. Pescado:
The difference between the schools is relatively immaterial, but the game stick with you with a MASSIVE grade penalty for going to school on the same "day" as age-up. You must allow one intervening 1800 after grow-up to pass without going to school to avoid this penalty. This is incidentally why people who play with aging off all the time find their grades stuck. There are only two ways to do this: Either age-up on a weekend, so you do not have to go school, or age-up prematurely and lose a day. The latter is also a heavy penalty. This is the game's way of punishing poor family planning. Just like in real life, your kids will be stupid if you don't do things right.
Zazazu:
Eh, but they bounce back in a day or two. Kind of unrealistic....even with hardergrades and a complete lack of attention to skilling my sim children, I'm getting A+ on the second day of school all the time, and typically mine age up midweek.
