Urie Bronfenbrenner, a psychologist who helped found the Head Start program, has died. We confess to know nothing of him, but "[h]e held many honorary degrees, and the American Psychological Association gives an annual award in his name for contributions to developmental psychology." While he must have been a distinguished educator, we can't help reflecting that in the years since Head Start degrees have taken over EHDYUKAYSHUN by degrees, and somehow the children haven't gotten noticeably smarter.
