Hi slowkal_0002 Since your post is about the same bug report, I’ve merged it into the existing thread so everything stays organized and easier to follow, Thanks a lot for your understanding :wink:

Having the same issue in Seha Academy in Dowon without mods or adjusting the lifespan from the default. I found getting them to an A wasn’t even strictly necessary. Children seem to be accumulating unexcused absences even when they attend school, and then getting expelled as a result.

The same thing happens to me and I don’t use mods

I saw this happen to a streamer when she was playing the early access build of the update. One of the elementary kids in their household got expelled during a funeral. She had the parents go on vacation several times without the children, so it may be related to the passing of time, even though the kids didn’t go anywhere.

I had the same problem with two siblings at the Cahaya elementary school. Both expelled at the same time despite perfect attendance and grades.

Edit: I also got the problem where different Zois’ homework tasks were combined into a single list, and when one Zoi failed to complete his school and homework tasks, they stayed on the task list as ‘failed’ over several days rather rather than disappearing. Not sure what happened in this update to mess up the school system so badly…

sounds like the modern american school system

“sorry kid but your making the rest of us look bad so you gotta go”

It happened to me and they were also fired from work without cause. The worst part is that they were at retirement age and I was hoping we could throw a party, but apparently there’s a bug, and one day they were just fired :smiling_face_with_tear:

I think I figured out the problem. My Zoi went to school today, but it says he missed a day, and that’s when I noticed there are now two elementary school options for him. When I tried to enroll him in the second elementary school, I received a text message from Sunridge High School.
