Problem solving

I feel like the problem I solved in class is not like solving a problem in real life because sometimes problem solving in real life you don't notice that your solving a problem and in class you know that you have to solve a problem because the teacher tells you the problem and asks for a solution. In real life it could just be things like how do i get this couch to the other side and most of us simply just ask someone to come help us and we lift the couch together and move it to the other side of the room. In a classroom the problem could be asked in a way where you have to think about the solution even though the answer could be simple which makes us think we need something that isn't simple because we think the simple solution won't count as the answer
