you might have moused over the school at the wrong time. IF it is after school hours, it will say teaching 0 students. also you might need to place bus stops if you havent already, because apparently no one can go to school without school bus stops. if you already have done all these, then there is a bug. my high school works fine for me.

Hi DrKing2020, I guess you are right about the coal. But I have another issue with the gifting option. I tried to gift 250000 simoleons from my 2nd city to my first. and it took the simulation 30 min to recognize the gift, and it finally made it over. But I definitely thought I lost the money for good. another issue is the Digital Deluxe edition ,which I still feel like it is totally not worth it. I bought it thinking that I could make more "specialized" cities with a French looking, or british looking or german looking city. Wrong! Based on the description of the DD edition on the main website, I was misled to think that I had an option to choose how my cities turned out to look. It so happens that the DD edition just allows you to plop down more types of tourist landmarks such as Eiffel Towel, Big Ben and stuff like that. It does state on the landmark description that your buildings close to these landmarks will start looking like landmarks of that country. For example, if you build an Eiffel Tower, your buildings start looking french. But no, after plopping down a 550000 simoleon Eiffel Tower, not onlydid my number of tourist not increase, none of my buildings started looking french. What a letdown. the only different thing the DD edition allows me to do is to build a French Police station. I do hope that there were more features apart from this one. letdown! oh and the problem with crime is the most surprising. I have like 950 criminals a day (even with no casinos) and only 9 arrests a day. This is with 3 completely furnished police stations and one precinct with 3 helipads. when I click on the police button, I see that there are plenty of police cars around and also criminals but nothing happens to them. even my wife who does not play this game thinks its stupid how a city needs 4 police stations and still have <10% arrests in a day.

o yeah, i also highly suspect it is because of the servers. since the online play controls the number of people coming to the city. So new update: I actually demolished my 2 casinos since they never made money ever since that happened. I had to shut down certain modules of certain social services in order to start making a profit again. right now I am back to making 3k/hr. I solved the problem by claiming the neighboring city and creating a industry/university town. So now I am getting more tourists over at the first city. I still dont understand what went wrong... the weird ting is, I now have 4 police stations in the first city and they still keep saying crime is high. I think it is kind of ridiculous to have so much crime now that I bulldozed both my casinos. With 3 helicopter police, they still tell me police cant get to criminal in time. I dont even have ground traffic congestion in my city. I think the same is for fire. I have 3 fire stations with full modules, and they still tell me fire is out of control. WTF. then people in my first city says they want education. And now my new city has grade school, high school and university. I even built school bus stops in the first city so they can get to school in the 2nd city. let the simulation run abit, and gues what...no regional students as reflected when I click on my schools. WTF moment again. I am also digging coal in my 2nd city, and they tell me coal is overflowing. So I clicked use locally coal on my trade depot....thinking that coal will be transported to my 1st city's power plant (I know about gift option). Never did and I still have to accept global coal. many things i still don't understand...but maybe it is me being an idiot.
