    Fill in the Gaps
 
"Consider this: If you mastered absolutely everything in a regular public school 12-year program and remembered every detail, there would still be a whole world of learning that you know nothing about.
 
"Even if you spent your whole life learning and innovating on what you learned, you would never master All There Is To Know. You would still have gaps.
 
 
"No matter how or what you learn in your childhood, you will arrive at the brink of adulthood with gaps in your education. And by this time, you will probably have a sense of which of those gaps are most significant in your preparation, and how to prioritize your learning in Transition to Depth Phase."
 
 
~Thomas Jefferson Education for Teens, p. 92 [this passage goes on to give tips and suggestions on preparing for college and mission.]
