Class Dismissed

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.

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.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
