"The child who is a skilled thinker and adept learner can adjust to whatever the future doles out. She can spackle in those holes in her knowledge, and she knows how to acquire skills she needs to do things she wants to do. On the other hand, the child shoveled down his prepared education, but lost his curiosity, whose interests withered away and were replaced by a general malaise and desire to be left alone-that child has a bag full of knowledge and skills with varying expiration dates and dubious ability or desire to acquire.”
