Childhood

[kelley]

i remember being quite impressed with Urie Bronfenbrenner's _Two Worlds of 
Childhood_.  although, as I recall, it uncritically valorized the USSR's 
approaches to childhood and education in its attempt to criticize the hell 
out of the U.S.  Can't recall exactly why I read that. I guess it was some 
psych course. It inspired me to write a paper in a soc of ed class later, 
tho: Asylums for the Preservation of Youth! (which was a quote from someone 
who happily used the term to refer to the newly emerging public schools)
