I Admire Common Sense
It should be taught in schools as no one seems to have it any more.

@BoobooSnafu I didn't say it couldn't be learned. Just not taught.
@SW-User I was just a little humour about 'learning things the hard way'.
But if you prefer to debate....here's my 2 pence worth :
Common sense is sound practical judgement.
To be able to do this...a person requires a good degree of common knowledge, and good powers of reasoning and logic.
Knowledge can be taught.
Reasoning can be taught.
Logic '' also '' ''
ergo......common sense can be taught.
However....like all skills...people have it in different degrees.

@BoobooSnafu that last bit was actually what I was getting at. My apologies for the lack of clarity. I hadn't wanted to debate with you.
@SW-User thank you. I'm sorry for assuming that you were.
Common sense is just basic practical reasoning .
I think a lot of people have it, but just don't use it. You use common sense to make things easier...improve results .... do it better, make it cheaper - stuff like that.
If people are too lazy to make/do things.......or too selfish to care about doing a better job, or too arrogant to learn a better way.........common sense will never need to be used.
Maybe that's why it seems so rare.?
