Are We Still Teaching Critical Thinking To Kids? - Warren Smith
Original Air Date - 3/14/24
Warren Smith is a teacher who went viral for a critical thought exercise he did with a student. The topic? JK Rowling. He sits down with Bridget to discuss what life has been like since Elon Musk retweeted his video. They talk about why the video made such an impact and resonated with so many people, the power of questions in the pursuit of objective truth, the application of critical thinking and whether kids are being taught these skills in school, and why the subject of JK Rowling in particular is such a charged and interesting topic. They also discuss what brought Warren to teaching, what he'd like to do with the opportunities this moment has given him, his responsibilities as a teacher, the lessons Bridget has learned from being in media, the learning curve of being a voice in the culture wars, Warren's perspective on the kids these days, his concerns about the state of teaching, the dangerous lack of innovation to keep up with technology in our classrooms, and why there's something uniquely strange about the culture war itself.
