Which, some seem to be forgetting about, also includes the side jobs the old guys and the kids
It seems to be questioning whether it helps to develop Dylan and Sophia relations.

I don't know from Sophia's point of view.

And I think the children's sex education scene could be used as a device to show how Sophia will behave to Dylan in the future.

Except they're completely independent. It's entirely possible to be playing the nursing home side job and the Dylan route.

AWAM is an adult game. Moves around the life of a wife & a mother. The goal of the game is to have the MC sexually aroused / erotically attracted to other people. If someone likes incest they follow the path where she is attracted to her family members (i.e. son, daughter, sister). If someone likes her to be a good wife, then they develop her relationship with her husband (kinky, prudent etc). If someone likes her to become an adulteress follows the path of corruption from people outside of her family. Everything happens under the MC’s POV. Anything else changes the concept of the game. I don’t dislike any of the characters perse. I don’t want their POV. It’s not why I’m following the game. IMHO all paths are interesting (from Sophia’s POV always). The game is beautiful but has too many paths open and at this pace is realistically impossible to conclude… 1 PD takes 2 years to complete means that it requires 34 years to complete the 17 remaining PDs… Is this LP’s full time job till retirement???
It's his retirement plan. He's said as much. It's an original idea & as pension schemes go, extremely innovative. (Patrons have to be happy with it, or they can leave). It's never been done before with a 3D game. That's one reason, perhaps, why things get slower.

There are fans who think it's fine that this will, in theory, last for the next 30-40 years. I surmise that they're either very self-contained tranquil beings, or think that they're definitely going to live that long, (a quite reasonable & realistic expectation for the Dev's schoolkid fans, at whom AWAM is now directed), while maintaining an ongoing interest in AWAM. I'm certain that their experience of the randomness of life is doubtful.

Bennett blackmailed Sophia based on Dylan's exam and demanded sex.

He has to meet Sophia at least once in the story and is working at the same school, so it is problematic to disappear from the vote list.
Bennett, if he reappears at all, is due back once, to receive Sophia's answer. I presume it will be "no" but the Bennett story has been effectively ruined by the Dev, [& I mean thoroughly FUBAR], i.e. it's weeks since the restaurant event in San Alejo time but several years in real life. L&P said that he didn't know what to do with him. This was after an outcry from fans who had Sophia on a pedestal & couldn't stand the thought of her being blackmailed. Fucked by her own son, yes, somehow that was O.K. but...blackmailed, no. (There was no Aiden at the time). It would be a mercy if Bennett, (potentially one the best adult storylines), transferred to another school. Then he wouldn't need to be back at all. I'll still rate the restaurant scene as one of the best in AWAM.

All the Backmail-Stories are one of L&P's weak points. But, the Aiden path in particular is simply ridiculous. Aiden does not seem dangerous at all and the helplessness towards his action form Sophia and others seems artificial. Also I think L&P should have chosen here only a blackmail-path in AWAM. Morello is at least the typical gangster and not totally ridiculous like Aiden. So, if anything, it's Morello path that should be selected.
L&P should have developed the Bennett route &/or given Aiden a stronger position with Sophia. Those like me who don't want to pursue incest are being slowly but inexorably ignored, as AWAM travels the full-on schoolboy fantasy path. As I've said elsewhere, I stay for the quality renders & out of curiousity but it's quite clear that the Dev is politely, slowly but with deliberate intent, showing fans like me where the exit door is.

All the debate around who should have the most screen time has become somewhat academic to those who hardly have any coherent story to follow at all.
