THE SCHOOL OF UNREAL LIFE

That university students know very little about how the real world works comes as no shock. Such is the depth of ignorance, universities are stepping in to remedy the problem:

Alfred University, a school in upstate New York where the majority of undergraduates live on campus, launched a cooking program in the last school year that included such fundamentals as boiling water. One of the motivations: reducing the number of fire alarms set off by students who burn their microwave popcorn and bacon.

Those teaching such life skills courses have their work cut out for them: trying to teach 20 somethings who can't read and apply cooking instructions designed for eight year-olds won't be easy. It's also a worry that those doing the teaching probably know very little about the real world having attended primary school, high school, university, graduate school and then gone straight into an academic position.

Jeez, it's no wonder universities are lefty dominated, no-one there knows anything about how the world works, other than in theory, of course. Anway, if you want an eye opener, read the whole article.
