Homework, The One Desk, and kids of all ages
SaraMK:
I've never seen this happen. Are my 6's and 12's superior? Maybe you need to rethink your breeding strategies.
Just joking. I've never seen this because I just let my 6's and 12's do their homework wherever, even if that happens to be in the middle of the road. I learned this trick from real-life teaching. Some 6's just work better if you let them sprawl under a counter, in a filthy corner by the trash can, or in the one spot that guarantees they'll be hit by the door every time it opens. The last also provides much needed lulz.

Dude, don't eye the FOJ he might kill you. Or sick his wife on you who knows how to kill with her thumbs.
Sic. The word you want is sic, not sick. Sick is what that misspelling makes me feel.
I remember having the same problem in base game only. In the first house I built, I put a desk in the 12's room. The little bastard would put the homework on the left, then claim he couldn't get to it when I told him to do it.

You should try the Ingeological desk+homework combo, and see if it corrects this behavior. Download it here: http://www.simlogical.com/sl/Sims2Pages/Sims2_MiscHacks.htm (look for Reservable Desk).
Lord Darcy:
As FOJ said, it seems that one of the more recent EP (probably FT) broke The One Desk hopelessly.
Prior to FT, students were able to put their homework/assignment on the usable side of the desk, provided that the right side of the desk was not blocked by wall or other object. Students stood by the right side of the desk before they put their homework on the desk.
This is still true for YAs, but not for 6s and 12s. 6s and 12s insist on putting their homework on the floor nearby The One Desk, even if I put a lamp on the left side of the desk and keep the right side of the desk unblocked. PITA indeed.
Kyna:
I find the One Desk to be a PITA too, but for a different reason.
My 12s come home, and one puts their homework on the right side of the desk. If it's not autumn, often they'll still be doing their homework when their 6 sibling(s) come home. As the 12's homework is pulled forward (since they're working on it), the 6 thinks the right end of the desk is clear, and puts their homework there - right where the 12 is doing homework. Then the 6 is unable to do their homework because they can't reach it. They either have to wait for the 12 to finish, or I have to go into buy mode to move their homework. This stupidity started a couple of EPs back, not sure exactly when, so it could have been with FT.
My One Desk usually ends up with a computer and a phone on it. I prefer homework on the floor to a stupid 6 putting their homework down right where a 12 is currently doing their homework.
