Just to let you know how much teachers like you are remembered by their students... I am 24 (almost 25) and went through all schooling and only ONE teacher I remember when I was 14 actually taught me critical thinking. In one year he got me from an E/F student in Physics to finishing on an A, which purely stemmed from him changing how I viewed learning/motivation (and he was just really cool and made the environment fun). I ended up getting into math because of that, which led me to computer science at uni, and now im developing games and am very happy. I think sometimes what path I would have went down without that ONE teacher. And you are exactly the sort of thinker which can teach kids the same, appreciate you and I hope you have a fruitful career!

Update: He’s been fired. Pierce, get him back on the show. The school needs to answer to this.

There's literally a lie hidden within every beLIEf, often times the lies we tell ourselves; and history is always written by the Victors, it's his story afterall. 😅 It's not nature vs nurture, but rather the integration and utilization of both. It's not holistic health vs modern medicine, but the integration and utilization of both. Where are we individually polarized, and why? This is a key to self awareness, and the ability to be a critical thinker -- beyond the reach or scope of the psychological & emotionally manipulative tactics of today's modern governs of mind I mean governments.

Isaiah 1:18 - Come and let us reason together, though your sins are like scarlet they shall be as white as snow; though they are like crimson they shall be as wool. I don't know, man, perhaps if you read the Scriptures for yourself and don't adopt a silly creed-it seems as though Christianity seems pretty reasonable. The problem arises when you separate the three threads of evidence you use to discern truth. Scripture alone leads to over 51,000 different Christian groups all arguing that the Bible is the basis of their faith. Science alone leads to evolutionism and godlessness. Personal experience alone leads to mystery religions and eastern philosophy. Yet, there really is no gray area or compromise when it comes to the laws of health, laws of physics, or the laws that govern the stars and celestial bodies. To put it simply, people have went awry because they've accepted lies about God, His character, and you will variably find that most Christians instead of praying like David of old, “Search and see the wicked way in me; renew a new heart and right spirit in me.” You will find many of them say superstitiously, “When my heavenly Father looks at me, He doesn't see me, but Jesus covering me.” That's because they don't actually trust our heavenly Father but interventions made to hide and protect them from Him. You have to rightly divide the truth for yourself. I abide by the principle of the apostle Paul stated in Romans chap. 14 v. 5, “Every person must be fully persuaded in their own mind.” I can't do your thinking for you; you must examine the evidence for yourself and come to your own conclusion on the matter. I can challenge you to think and to weigh it out for yourself but you must apply yourself to do so. Have a good day, Caller, and may the Spirit of God invigorate you to rightly divide truth from error.

Good observation. You're absolutely spot on.

I'm a GenY, and I was taught by teachers who actually taught like this fella. Teachers need to teach students how to live in the real world NOT push their personal views and opinions onto them. Teachers used to be a corner stone of a society now they're just jokes.

Open minds! What a. concept. Very impressed with this young teacher -and with. you for featuring him!

Key line "teach children how to think. Not what to think." Greatest gift we can be nutured towards, our own minds, thinking critically.

I'm a science teacher, and never shy away from the 'tricky' questions or the topics that are 'off limits.' When kids directly ask me for my opinion on something (which happens all the time, kids are super curious and switched on), I ask them what theirs is first, and always play devil's advocate. It's great when you see the lightbulb light up and they say "oh, I've never thought about it like that." Unfortunately, the vast majority of my colleagues won't engage out if fear of parent complaints, professional consequences, and a lack of confidence. There's nothing wrong with asking kids tough questions and challenging their views. The best learning happens in these moments. We need to create a more tolerant, open minded and critical thinking generation. Especially when social media algorithms are hell bent on forcing us into set ideologies. It also teaches me too, because I really have to be on the ball with some of the imaginative questions I get asked 😅. They ask better questions than most journalists.

Piers is ALWAYS up to date. i discovered this teacher's channel just 4 days ago. Great Stuff !!!

I love that he called out the lesson, in Harry Potter, that you have to face the unknown and your fears voluntarily. That lesson is from, I believe in the Order of the Phoenix, the moment that Harry realizes that either he has to kill Voldemort or Voldemort has to kill him, and critically, accepts it. He thinks to himself that his acceptance is the difference between being dragged into the Coliseum kicking and screaming and walking in with your head held high. He supposes that some would think that is a distinction without out a difference, but _he_ now understands that it is everything. It was at that moment, I began to consider those books literature, not merely entertainment.

This is actually very similar to what Jordan Peterson has been saying for years ("face the dragon"), and he often refers to Harry Potter for examples and metaphors too.

The school fired him recently!

So many great things here. Among many other things, props to the teacher for creating an environment where someone can admit they were wrong and still save face. Although we shouldn’t need that to admit we were wrong, it certainly helps.

Great teaching moment! Cheers!

Softly spoken, intelligent...but not woke! Brings a tear to the eye! 😢😂❤

Bravo Warren Smith.

He played the "Do your own research!" UNO CARD! 🤣🤣

You nailed it. The scary part of realizong you are wrong is realizing every other belief you hold could be wrong. I went through that at about 30 and it was the start of my new life

Poor guy! The school union now has its sight on this guy. I sincerely hope he survives through all the crap that will come his way.

They probably already are, but it's difficult to argue against facts. He will always have a teaching job in schools that truly value education.

Don’t pity those who are blessed with the opportunity to prove their virtues and principles to be just that. Living in line with the truth isn’t easy, and if it were, we wouldn’t view it as an admirable thing to do.

Probably because the young gentleman was soft spoken and had something to say. Far too many aggressive and shouting guests on these types of panels. I get it - verbal bloodsports sell, but still it's nice to hear civil discourse for a change.

Thank you for pivoting the conversation (2:53) and not letting Piers just run with the simple news angle, missing the larger take- away.

Need more open-minded and reasonable teachers like this guy. He encourages thought and debate without pushing his political views on the students

This is what a teacher should be. I hope that some in the profession take note. Fair play to the student for listening and his reaction. Young people should not be told what to think but how to think. Hallelujah!

I was shocked this was a teacher from the US! - Well done to you sir. In times such as these you are the voice of reason!

Massachusetts here too! Sad you got fired from your job, Warren! 😢

Great conversation...GOD BLESS FROM IRELAND 🇮🇪 🙏

You wouldn't believe what the teacher was teaching the class my 14yrs daughter was in (uk). Where to touch people to pleasure them!!! I am shocked to the high hill!

This man is an incredible teacher. Teach kids to be able to analyze and form their own conclusions, free of political correctness and group think!

The fact something this obvious makes anyone a hero is a sign how low society has fallen.

A teacher went viral? 👀 The world is healing...

My eyes welled up,after reading your comment.yes,we need awakening

Beautiful. refreshing to see a young man of character and doubly so to see him working with our kids! Bless you, sir.🙏🏾

How have you not got Warren back on the show? It’s terrifying to think they fired him for teaching a kid to think for themselves.

Well done sir. Keep it up and inspire the rest of your colleagues to take your example.

In my time this kind of teacher would be called... an average teacher. For those who are (very) young, for thousands of years there have been teachers who have been encouraging thoughts. It's a terribly thing what has been happening in the last 10 or so years. I strongly hope we'll look back at this period and realize how incredibly stupid and damaging 'wokeness' is.

The real gift in this video of him, is if you watch it all, he sets up the environment for the kid to learn for himself "I'm not gonna take any position", then gets the kid to explore the question he is asking, to examine it's validity for himself and encouarges him to decide if what is being claimed "the given" matches what he is reading out in his question. He leads the student to learn "thinking" for himself, he doesn't try to teach him how to think, he allows that to be discovered by prompting. It's a talent, to be able to setup and lead self discovery like that.

Love this guy. only found out about him today. There would be less wars with teachers like this

Please bring Warren Smith back on, since now he has been fired for being an actual teacher!!!

Parents, always be interested in what teachers teach your kids in school. Ask your kids what they are being taught. These days, you never know what dangerous garbage they are throwing at your kids.

I'm twice this guy's age and I want to be like him when I grow up haha

Thank you.

It is amazing how conversations with people who are used to think in stead of knowing being right always have a different tempo... A different feeling... There is no stress there is a waiting what will be said... Not talking over each other following principles "whoever is louder - wins"

Piers, thank you for branching out and providing us with an honest and open environment to listen to the news.

This is what teachers are meant to do .. 🤷‍♂️

Piers, this is an important interview, thank you. I'm late catching up with this guy. It gives hope to see a way of being modeled that promotes cohesion instead of division. I'm going back to look at more of his stuff.

Hi. I hope more teachers follow your lead. Please continue your wonderful education. I hope a good school takes you in.

We've finally found the main character
