Common sense is something that everyone is expected to know. Kumanshiro is new to the village and the things that may be correct/right wasn’t for him, it took him awhile to learn and develop the knowledge of the village of what others do or what they perceive as common sense. His attempts to teach and learn differently did not make sense to students. This is important to pay attention to common sense because kumanshiro brought different expectations, values, assumptions to the school. Learning differently is essential to growing as a teacher, teaching should be more than just lectures, memorization and tests and what is common to every school. He says that common sense does not tell us what schools should be doing it tells us that this and only this is what schools should be doing. We use common sense because it is how society and other people view things so we feel we should do the same. We find comfort in common sense because we are so immune to it.
