This is why it is important for a toddler to never transition such that the very next day is a school day.
Does this only apply if someone is using some sort of aging off cheat? Or do you mean even in normal non-cheating gameplay?
This is Awesomeland rules. For normal gameplay, when your toddlers transition is of minimal effect. It's ridiculously easy to get up to an A+ after just a couple school days. If I didn't have hardergrades and avoid directing child skilling apart from what they have wants for, all my simkids would be geniuses.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. I have noticed that if you age a toddler up during school hours on a school day, you'll get this stupid "spawn missed school and lost a grade" and their grade goes down to a D! I was shocked when that happend, but when the sibs got home from school, the newly transitioned child (the one with a D from "missing school") scrolled on wants to "do homework" and "learn to study". Sibs had all leared to study already, so I had mom teach the "new" child to study with his brother's homework! :D
Yeah, it's really very easy to get an A+. What does that harder grades hack do? Does it make it so kids/teens actaully have to do homework every single day? lol I usually have them do all thier homework anyway, since you can't delete it even with moveobjects once they got to uni. :-\

Not exactly. I get it here.
Gastfyr, never age spawn up during school hours. I usually age right at 6 pm or when they are at an appropriate tiredness level to go to sleep at the proper time once they transition.
And looking below I see why Pescado has the grade woes he does. I always prompt aging and don't let them do it autonomously.

So I should always time transitions on either Friday or Saturday, amiright?
Friday/Saturday/Sunday are all good. Alternatively, you can force premature transition after 1500 (school out) but before 1800 (age-up) on Mon-Thu, resulting in the subsequent loss of a day at 1800, putting you at 7 days and thus avoiding the penalty.
