I found the Resnick article interesting about how learning/knowledge differ in their use and acquisition between school and the "real world." It made me think of something I had just seen last week on an HBO show called The Wire. The show depicts fictional police and drug dealers in Balitmore, and in this instance, a young child comes to one of his mentors (a teenager) asking about a school math problem. The response might not be what you'd expect ....
(WARNING: There is quite a bit of bad language in this link, be prepared).
In particular, focus on 1:30 when the kid asks his question. There is an interruption in between with some plot stuff, then back to the math problem at 2:55.
