Teacher actually teaches kids how to think. Now he’s fired

By Bob Unruh

A teacher who gained online superstar status with a stunning exchange that taught students how to think, not what to think, has been fired.

It is high-school teacher Warren Smith who delivered what has been described as a “masterclass in the Socratic method” a few months ago.

Since then, his interaction with students has been viewed more than 45 million times.

See it:

This is utterly brilliant. A student accuses @jk_rowling of being transphobic. This teacher skilfully dissects the claim and challenges it by asking questions.

He teaches not what to think, but how to think critically.

Watch until the end.
