yep. Currently we (veterans) will split up and several of the rookies will join us and we teach them what we know.
Freshman (and other rookies) really are invaluable because they will be the core of the team when you leave. Also, if you don't know a skill well enough to teach it to someone else then you still have a lot of learning to do. One of the best ways to really understand something is to teach it and if there are no people to teach then that knowledge will leave with you and you'll have missed an opportunity to learn more about what you know.
