Maybe I'm the only one, but I tend to get very bored with playing with teenagers (and kids) Because of the never ending school pressure. I would love for the school to be either shorter days or perhaps even monday-thursday or mon-wednesday, etc.
I'm wondering if there are any mods to alter the school system? I feel like my younger sims can never enjoy life at it's fullest. (I do long-plays). No summer vacation, no winter vacation, etc. We have the "special days" in Seasons, but those are few and far between. It's just grind, grind, grind every day at school.

Or ship them off to a Boarding School - https://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/generations/boardingschools.php
You're in the Sims 3 section. Sounds like you're describing a Sims 4 feature.

Then while rotating through some households that have no children/teens or who are all homeschooled, I suddenly cannot understand why no one in town is even going to school by 9 am and start yelling at the game, "Okay, what's wrong NOW?" Thus it's easy to become a victim of one's own cleverness (or again, something like that).
If what you want to do is give everyone an unexpected or otherwise unscheduled, not recurring day or a few days off from school, that can be done at any time with MasterController. On City Hall or an in-game computer, NRaas > MC > Sim > Intermediate > Career > Days Off: School > "X" to dismiss the filter, select everyone (should be all of the school-aged children and teens who show up), and select the number of days to give them all off of school with no penalties applied to their school performance. Doesn't have to be summertime to do it that way, and then one can arrange for one's own winter or spring breaks. (MC Cheats add-on module required)

That's it right there.I was at work and didn't have access to it.

Otherwise the player would have arrange Days Off: School by way of MC for one, some, or all sims each time the intended season rolls around. The MC way is done by number of sequential school days to have off, not by season and days of the week, so some math might be required to get that right each time.

For every question there is a nraas mod, it seems, haha!
I've not dared try the SP mod yet. Will there be any active settings on it if I install it? I would prefer things to be as is if I installed it, and rather add things later if I'd need or the game is getting stagnant. Same with the career add-on. Will there be any immediate changes in the game?
Mon-Tues school during summer sounds lovely tbh!
If SP is installed but its version of progression is not switched on, then nothing much will happen but options like summer vacations won't show up as they wouldn't have any effect on the game.
The more manual MC way might be your better bet then if you are not ready to try SP for progression.

No, you're not the only one, I feel exactly the same. There are so many kids and teens in my game that most of them never even managed to get inside the schoolbuilding before the schoolday was already over. Finally I got so tired of seeing this that I decided to do something drastic, I just bulldozed the school, and voila, problem solved!
If I can change the school system with it more easy, then I do believe I'm willing to try the SP mod! Gonna go read a little bit about it!
