After all possible book knowledc is crammed in their heads, they must apply it to common sense situations. If everything could be learned from books, life would be so much easier. The only trouble is, life doesn’t happen according to a specific set of rules. Students are constantly faced with changes that veer from the expected. It’s the new things that make student life exciting.
