I don't know if this has been suggested already but I think the kids/teens need a command to 'do homework' when the parents are off lot (such as at work in an active career). We can tell them to take care of their needs, to socialize, to work on skills and even to 'tend garden'. We need a 'do homework' command too.

Yes, that too. And/or a 'work on late homework' command. Usually my kids can get it done but it would be nice if they could work on their homework while my sim is still at work so there's more time to socialize once mom or dad gets home.
And, yes, I know it's not 100% necessary but I like for my kids to get good grades and most of my kids will do it autonomously (even extra credit).
On a related note, how about bringing back "Do Homework With..." so when Sims bring home a friend they can study together? Doing homework with another Sim would increase the Fun and Social needs as well as getting the work done, maybe a slight decrease in the time taken to finish.

Honestly, I enjoy the kids so much more in TS4 than I did in TS3, but there are still spots that could use improvement. Homework is one of them.
