Challenging Class Podcast

Welcome to Challenging Class — Where Education Meets Truth.

Hosted by veteran educator Cecil Dwyer, this podcast exposes the gap between what we think 🤔 education is—and what’s actually happening inside today’s schools.

Teachers are burning out.
Students are checking out.
Parents are trying to figure it all out.
And the system? It keeps moving, but remains unchanged. 🤯

Challenging Class goes beyond headlines and buzzwords to confront the realities of education in 2025 and beyond—from teacher burnout and mental health, to equity, AI, and the politics nobody wants to touch.

Every episode is a conversation we’ve needed for years—raw, informed, and unafraid to challenge the status quo.

New episodes bi-weekly. Honest talk. Real stories. The truth behind the classroom.

Because if we don’t change how we talk about school, we’ll never change what school can be.
