The most dangerous and offensive thing about
"Class" is that it takes place in a world 
where actions have no consequences. 

This kid (Jonathon) has sex with his best friend's
mother (regularly) and steals the SAT so he can get into
Harvard.  But does he pay for any of this reprehensible
behavior.  Heavens to poopsies, are you joking?  He's the
central character, stupid.

Can Jonathon face what's-her-name after the truth of
their identities is known - sure, and by the way, why not
have sex with her again. I mean, what the hell.  Must she
face her son when he finds out?? Why bother - just have
the ever-convenient "nervous breakdown" and drop out of
the situation.  Can the boys still be best o' pals after
all of this.  Why not, just beat each other up and everything
is fine.  After all "a F is just a F, right"?

Stealing is okay if your track record puts you above 
suspicion.  Your buddy (whom they suspect more) will
end the investigation by yelling the big F-U at the
authorities, making him a hero.  Nothing further will
be said.

Sleaze I can handle.  But this is too much.
