Theory vs Common sense

Is this a prime example of what your profs teach you in your classes as opposed to what Rodney teaches? Discuss

That wasn't common sense, that was a highly thorough and knowledgeable understanding of real world economics, and he was just flaunting his knowledge. His understanding of business (etc) was portrayed to be superior to that of the professor, and he clearly already knew the underlying theoretical concepts the professor was trying to teach, and was cluttering up the discussion with things the students didn't need to know, and would learn later in the workforce.
or something
Funny though.

School can't teach common sense, that comes from experience and I don't think school/theory gives you enough time and information or hands on experience to have common sense on whatever subject. The prof simplified the case, which is good and bad.

Isn't it Theory VS Practical? Common sense is erhm, never as common as you think.
