Headmaster WTF moment.

I suppose this is more embarrassing than in the old days, when the headmaster ignored attempts to give him a tour or feed him and instead headed straight for a hot tub, had a damned good time there, then left because you are a crappy family.
Oooh, bad flashbacks...that strangely make me homesick for the base game?
I thought anything above a D was acceptable.

I tried to invite the headmaster the next day, and got a dialog saying "we don't accept students with less tha C averages." I checked the kid, and sure enough, somehow she'd gotten a C-. She'd only been to school one day, which I thought meant she'd have a C+, but it's been a long time since I paid close attention to that junk.
The C thing has always been around. This is why you must always schedule the headmaster scenario immediately, before the first day of school, which requires careful advance planning to only try for baby between Wed 1800 and Thu 1300 or so. Otherwise you will not be able to do the headmaster scenario. Furthermore, a child that goes to school on the first day (8 days remaining) is heavily penalized and will likely lose grades. Therefore, you must always make sure that the child does not have to attend school until the agemeter reads "7 days remaining" or less. See Wednesday Rule.
Gus Smedstad:
I understand what you're saying, but it hardly seems that time critical unless you're really hell-bent on getting in at the first possible moment, or you're playing a challlenge that penalizes any days of public school. It's not difficult to get to a B average in the first couple of days of school, and that's more than enough.
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.

It isn't simply an error in code? >90 rather than >=90?

You can alternatively use either Monique's Computer (I use Chaavik's FT conversion in the Peasantry) or Inge's School Changer doo-hickey from Simlogical. The computer can be set to charge private school fees, which I like. Privilege costs. Inge's has the option to change to Flexi-school, which she made so that you could run your own schools in-game, but which I use to switch non-college-bound teens to not having to go to school their last couple days.
I honestly can't stand the Headmaster scenario. It's boring as all get-up.
