Class Dismissed
Welcome to Class Dismissed—a weekly, kid-in-the-car safe conversation where real life, pop culture, tech hiccups, and the occasional “wait… what?!” moment all get a seat at the table. It’s thoughtful, it’s fun, and it’s proof that you can laugh, think, and mildly panic about parenting in the digital age—all before Tuesday rolls around again.
Episodes
Today on Class Dismissed, the crew celebrates a 10-year-old making history with dual college enrollment, tackles whether school still matters in an AI-driven world, calls out the broken credential system that would block Elon Musk from teaching, and ends with a creative teacher remixing a popular song to help students remember a science lesson.
This week on Class Dismissed, Harvard students protest fewer easy A’s, Gen Z brings mom to job interviews, a four-year-old gets summoned for jury duty, a six-year-old masters budgeting better than most adults, and we wrap it up by asking which music genre you would keep forever.
On this week’s Class Dismissed, we tackle claims that technology is making Gen Z dumber, cheer a 13-year-old Aussie hero who swam through shark-filled waters to save his family, laugh at a viral “bio math” wedding timeline, melt over a tiny British chef cooking for his mum, and debate which superpower we’d love to have.
Parents push back against kid cell phones, research proves paper books still beat screens, a mom reels as the alphabet song gets a bizarre makeover, and one man willingly gets steamrolled by goats inside a Zorb ball. From saving kids’ brains to sacrificing adult dignity, this week’s stories show how modern life keeps turning simple things into full-contact chaos.
Class Dismissed takes a hilarious (and slightly terrifying) tour through modern education—spotlighting Gen Z grads who can’t spell, professors reading college students aloud, and a $250K philosophy degree that pays exactly zero dollars. Along the way, the panel tackles AI anxiety, vanishing jobs, and tops it all off with a bungee workout that proves the future of fitness might involve flying, flailing, and signing a lot of waivers.
On today’s episode … Google thinks turning 13 means your kid has “graduated” from parental controls—so they email the kid how to remove them, and then we explore why letting tech do the thinking is funny… until it really isn’t.
