' Are there any gaps
in their education? (I think there are many gaps in mine, a public
school education)."

Ah...the old "gaps in education" myth. Think about it, does anyone on
this earth NOT have "gaps in education"?:)

If we didn't, we'd already know everything there is to know!! Not
possible. If you're alive and learning, there will always be gaps.
Hurray for gaps, it keeps life interesting!!

Many years ago when I was a new unschooler I heard (something like)this
somewhere, and have quoted (something like) it a thousand times since:

"Suppose a successful college student graduates knowing one one-
billionth of all that there is to know. She probably knows less than
that, but let's just suppose that she graduated, knowing that much.

Who should decide which one-billionth she should learn? And does it
make any sense to push her really really really hard, so that she can
graduate knowing two one-billionths?"
