Exploring the Paradox of Academic Excellence and Real-World Incompetence

Exploring the Paradox of Academic Excellence and Real-World Incompetence Unraveling the Dichotomy of Academic Brilliance and Practical Inefficiency Over the years, I have had the privilege of interacting with a diverse array of students, ranging from mature learners, parent-students, to research scholars.
