WHAT YOU NEED TO SUGGEST OR MENTION:
Here are some suggestions/ideas I have.

Phone Update & Phone Apps Update:

So for this kind of update I would love to see different kind of phone types instead of just a flip phone. With different types of phones there could be a shop that is an electronic shop that has phones, computers, headphones, and other electronics and stuff. With different phone variations I feel like you could be able to add a customizable case where you get to design it or get to pick the color of it. Now onto some phone apps that would I would like added. First off an app store, an app store would be amazing because then you can download and add apps like mi****mes, messaging apps, calling apps, social media apps. The app store would be located on the phone where once you click it a GUI would pop up allowing you to look through different apps you can download and search apps. Another cool app idea is a GPS app, the GPS app would allow you to get directions to multiple locations. This would be great for new players who don't know their way around the map yet.

House/Apartment Update:

To start off with the house and apartment update, I think there should be mail boxes. With the apartments it seems like there is already a area that would be the place for mailboxes so why aren't they in the game then. Mailboxes would be very useful for people to send letters, party invites, and advertising new shops. There could also be a billing system. Next part to this update, knocking and doorbells. This would be a great thing to added for more liveliness then just typing (/me knocks) or (/me rings doorbell). Finally, a garages and parking for apartments. For people who have cars it's very inconvenient to just have your car waiting outside of your house or outside of where you apartment is, adding garages to houses would be amazing because then you could shelter the car/vehicle and also close the garage doors. And lastly, making the estates by the school purchasable instead of them just being for display.

Vehicle Update:

The vehicle update would include keys to your car, a trunk/storage area, and more. To start off, everyone being able to get vehicles. The worst part about vehicles in the game right now is that you have to buy it using IRL money, and it's inconvenient for those people who can't afford it. Buying a vehicle with IRL money should only be for if you want a custom vehicle otherwise there should be an in game shop that you can spend in game money to buy non custom vehicles. Next thing that would be added to this update, keys and storage. With this update you will be able to lock and unlock your car so people can't just hijack your vehicle whenever they won't. There will also be a trunk/storage area where if you went shopping and don't have enough inventory space you can pack your items into your trunk. Lastly with this vehicle update there would be traffic lights and crosswalks, making it seem like actual streets.

Police Update:

With this update it will also add to the vehicle update mentioned above. Starting off with adding to the vehicle update, police would be able to give players speeding tickets and fines. There would be pieces of paper that every cop gets that you will have to write out the crime they did and how much they need to pay for the fine or ticket. Another part of this update would add police cars. Every police officer would get a police car which would have working sirens so they can get to the crime scene just in time to caught the criminal.

Shop Owner Update:

To start off, just like the hospital and police officers each shop owner will be able to make a custom phone number for there shop or restaurant. With the phone number customers would be able to call for either delivery purposes or to ask about opening hours and closing hours. Next for shops, there will be paychecks and cash registers working. This is so it feels real and that depending on the role you play for that shop is how much you get paid. When a customer buys something the money will automatically go into the cash register which will go into the shops bank, the shop owner will be able to set the day that every employee gets their paycheck and how much each employee gets for their paycheck. Shop owners will have the ability to creator a custom sign or logo for their shop that will be hung outside of there shop so players can tell what shop is what easily. Lastly a menu and stocking update. For some players they have no idea what anything looks like so when going into a shop and just reading the sign you don't know what it will look like. So for shops where you buy items there will be shelfs where you can display what each item looks like so the customer knows what they are about to buy looks like. With restaurants, the menus will have an update you will be able to make menus with sections, prices, and pictures. With the menu you will get to pick the price of each food item and be able to customize what your menu looks like adding the picture of what the food item looks like as well.

Money Update:

This update will give players more ways of getting money then just waiting for their hourly allowance. The first way of making money is working at a shop where it explains how you will get paid in the Shop Owner Update. The next way would be through jobs, the jobs that you could work as would be, an uber driver, a bus driver, a dog sitter, a babysitter, tutor, or a maid. Each job you would be able to get by asking staff, applying for it on the forums, or qualifying for the job. The jobs that would you would need to apply for would be, uber driver, bus driver, and maid. Jobs that you would need to be qualified in would be dog sitter, babysitter, and tutor. To become a dog sitter you would need to take a test on how to take care of animals. To become a babysitter you would need to take a test on how to take care of kids. To be a tutor you would need to take a test on the subject you would be tutoring.

School Update:

With this update for the teachers you will be able to make actual test for students to take and give out homework. This is to make school actually something to be wanting to go to. The teachers would be able to use either the whiteboard or chalkboard to write on to illustrate to the students what they are supposed to do. The teachers that would be added are. ELA. Math. Music. FCS/Home Economics. Art. Science. Gym. Social Studies. Tech Ed. Computers. Languages. And more. With each teacher they will be assigned a room that corresponds to what they teach. For music you will have instruments for the students to use and learn how to play. For art there will be art supplies and the able to draw. For gym there will be physical activities to attend and participate in. For computers there will be computers that you learn how to type through either a mi****me or another way to use electronics. For FCS you will learn how to cook and bake. Each class like Math, science, ela, social studies the students will get a book that they will use for that class and that class only. The students will now have useable lockers that are owned by them that you can customize and have a password to access and store your books and materials in. A drama/theater area will be added where students act in plays and musicals. The principal will be able to make students who have detention actually go to detention. Students will have the ability to ditch school or skip classes. Students will be able to pass notes in class.

Family Update:

This update you will be able to get married divorce have kids and more. In order to get married you will have to have either a boyfriend or girlfriend. Players will have the ability to take other players on dates. The more dates and romantic things the couple does the more they level up once the love meter is level 50 they will have the ability to propose and getting married. When they get married you will be able to have an actual ceremony where you can invite friends and family. Each player will get a wedding ring and share a bank account and live together. You will be able to grow a family with the new command (/family) this command will let you add people to your family, remove people from your family, set what role they play in the family from either (Child, Husband, Wife, Pet, ect.). Players can roleplay as your kids they will be able to change their height and age. You will be able to give them an allowance, curfew, and more. When having a pet, you will be able to have more actions with it. When you add a pet to your family and give it the pet role it will give the pet a collar that has your RPName and phone number on it letting other players know the pet is yours.

Furniture Update:

The update that will add more furniture and decoration items. When you either own a house or apartment you will now be able to have a TV, couches, cabinets, dresser, computer, rug, paintings, and more furniture items. With the paintings and photos you will be able to place them around and be able to customize them to your own with URLs.

Apartment Update:

With an apartment update you will be able to add a roommate allowing another play decorate and build in your apartment and being able to customize anything. You will also be able to change the floor type for different rooms and the walls.

More Commands/Action Update:

This update will add more commands that will visual do movements. Such as dancing, pointing, crying, kissing, high fiving, laughing, waving, and more.

Those are just some update ideas I had! I hope you like them and if you agree with any tell me and if you want to add on to some features to any Update Ideas go ahead and post it as a reply!

All of them are very smart, unfortunately I have to disagree with most of your suggestions;

To begin with, I think that the Family Update suggestion really is unnecessary, I know that you’d love making it more reaslistic and all those stuff, but it really is unnecessary due to the fact people knowing when they have to marry and/or when the perfect time is. I’m sure this’ll mess the current roles we have as well and cause a lot of confusion. [-1]

I have to disagree with the More Command/Action update;

Most actions in SRP (/rh, /am, /lay, /sit and etc) are based on real Minecraft items. These commands are based on Minecraft items’ movements;

/rh | [Right-Click] Trident item
/am | [Right-Click] | Bow charging
/lay | [Right-Click on item] | Bed (Minecraft sleeping)
/sit | [Right-Click] | Saddle (Horse, pig etc.)

All these commands are based on items, it of course is possible to create new commands and/or movements by coding, but I can assure you that it will mess up the game due to various reasons. | I feel like this is unnecessary as well, you can just do a /me of something, for example dancing, and just throw some random moves, as simple as that. [
-1]

Now at least, as for the Apartment Update, I totally agree in adding a new roommate, though, I have to disagree with the second suggestion you mention in the Apartment Update section;

If you for example change the walls of your apartment, it would mess up the wall of the player who lives next to you. The walls are created ‘inside’ the map and can not be deleted and/or broken. [
-1]

The rest of them are amazing suggestions.

A lot of these are iffy, however the ones I referenced are pretty slam dunk type things that are hard to make an argument against other then "haha it'll take too long!!!"

I disagree with the majority of what's been suggested, due to the lack of necessity for many of the things you've come up with. I don't have much to say for some of your sections other than "it's unnecessary to the server as a whole," but I'd like to share my thoughts for a few in specific that I am passionate about.

Phone customization (to the extent you are suggesting) is detrimental to the server. As it stands, the resource pack is already very large. If the size exceeds a certain limit, the pack will fail to load on slower computers. Adding a large array of phone models with different unique shapes, colors, and textures would simply be destructive. I am in favor of replacing some or all of our current models (as everybody using a flip phone in 2020 is a bit unrealistic), but nothing more.

Gaming apps would take away from the roleplaying aspect of the server. We shouldn't dedicate our time and resources to develop single player mi****mes.

Apps dedicated to social media would be more trouble than it's worth. Even if there is a way to make a usable social media in-game, we already have one which can be accessed through any internet browser through social.schoolrp.net. Alternatively to Onrain, you can create your own IC message boards and social media using discord.
Mailboxes would be a nightmare, as anybody could easily flood them with junk items and spammy books that would be tossed immediately after skimming. If you'd like your character to send a letter, either hand it to the recipient ICly or message the player OOCly the contents of the message.

Your vehicle storage suggestion is flawed from the very beginning, as only the player who owns the car (the one who placed it) can drive or pick it up. It is impossible to steal or mug a car through IC means (as far as I'm aware), so additional safety features are unnecessary. Additionally, nobody keeps their cars parked on the map, as there are semi frequent lag clears which will delete them, so garage storage would be unnecessary.
This is the sole section I almost completely agree with. Having official jobs that students could apply for (either ICly or on the forums) would be more realistic, and likely bring interesting aspects to roleplay. While some of the jobs you suggested are unnecessary (as there isn't a demand for babysitters or bus drivers in Karakura), it would be interesting to see jobs such as student tutors, or fitness trainers for example. Really, any type of job that could promote roleplay between two or more people would be nice to see.

Something I will mention, a lot of players have made their own companies and organizations for services with high demand in Karakura, such as skin tailoring and photography. Whilea lot of these jobs are (for the most part) OOC, either joining a company or starting your own can make you money ICly, and lead to interesting IC encounters if you let it.
First and foremost, SRP is a school roleplaying server; it's clear that education should be held in a high regard, and a realistic school setting should be provided for the sake of the players' enjoyment. However, we must keep in mind that this is a roleplay server, and not real school. Nobody wants to come home after a long day of study, only to log into minecraft and do homework that only affects their character ICly, as it's neither engaging or fun. As somebody who has held a teacher role for over a year, I have many issues to complain about and flaws to point out; however, I would never suggest standardized testing or homework, as that is the literal opposite of what our server is about. We are here to roleplay, not do more schooling.

Implementing plugins and games to use for classes defeats the entire purpose of roleplay; why have teachers if you're just going to use a plugin instead of having them roleplay with students? It's much more engaging when a teacher comes up with an activity that lets people roleplay, rather than seeing who's poured the most time into a plugin. If I wanted to see who was better at clicking, I would be playing on Hypixel.

For the many suggestions I've skipped over, here is my explanation: There is no point in implementing a feature if it doesn't significantly improve roleplay, and if we can do something through the commands we already have, there is no reason we need to develop a new plugin.

It has already been announced that ONRAIN will be coming to the photos soon.

ACCEPTED / DENIED

- Some of your points on things such as Phones, Housing / Apartments & Vehicles have been accepted and are either already on to-do-lists or have been added, however the majority of the others for example the marriage system, more emotes / emote commands & whatnot have unfortunately been denied.

Thank you for your feedback, it's been nice to hear what you'd like to see on the server regardless​
