This is my latest personally curated list of amazing dad jokes for 2025.

School is back, and so are my groan-worthy Dad Jokes, sharpened like freshly bought pencils for 2025! I promise these are the only grades you’ll laugh at this year. Grab your backpack—and maybe some earplugs—because class is now in session for the silliest back-to-school puns around!

1. Why did the math book look sad?
   Because it had too many problems.

2. Why was the science book full of gossip?
   Because it had all the ‘elements’ of drama.

3. I told my kid his model of the solar system was good, but it left a little ‘space’ for improvement.

4. Why did the kid eat his homework?
   Because his teacher said it was a ‘piece of cake.’

5. I bought my son a cheap calculator for school. It just doesn’t add up.

6. I asked my son about his lunch at school. He said the food was ‘history’ – indigestable and ancient.

7. My daughter complained about her school bus. I said, ‘Well, it’s not the ‘wheels’ on the bus that go round and round, it’s my head with your complaints.’

8. My son said he ran two miles at school. I asked if he was exaggerating. He said, ‘Just a ‘running’ joke, Dad.’

9. I drive my kids to school in a clown car. They’re never late because it’s always a ‘circus’ getting there on time.

10. Went to the parent-teacher meeting and asked if we could talk about the ‘elephant’ in the room. Turned out it was just a paper-mache pachyderm.

11. I told my kids on their first day, ‘Be like a proton – always positive!’

12. My daughter asked for an expensive set of markers for art. I told her to ‘draw’ a conclusion from my wallet’s emptiness.

13. I asked my kid about his music class. He said it’s ‘note’ worth talking about.

14. Why was the geometry book always tired?
    Because it had too many angles to cover every morning.

15. Why were the early days of history called the ‘Dark Ages’?
    Because there were so many knights.

16. I asked my daughter if she would be okay with leftovers for lunch. She said it was a ‘reheated’ argument.

17. Told my kid if he didn’t study for his math test, he’d have to ‘count’ on some consequences.

18. Went back-to-school shopping and my wallet said, ‘This is where I draw the line.’

19. I told my kids we could only afford the ‘abridged’ version of their textbooks. They’re shorter, right?

20. Why was the library the highest building in the school?
    Because it had the most storeys.
