Biography
Dr. Pyror is one of the few employees at Springfield Elementary School who seems to actually be qualified in his field. He does have a slight tendency toward gullibility, as Bart easily tricks Pryor into sending him to a school for gifted children.[1] Later, however, Pryor recommends that Bart repeat the fourth grade and refuses to back off of his recommendation, in spite of Bart's protests.[2]
Dr. Pryor also seems to be prone to occasional absent-mindedness. When Bart was in kindergarten, Homer and Marge saw him to discuss problems Bart was having with adjusting to school. Pryor said it was due to Bart's "flamboyantly homosexual tendencies," and then corrected himself when he realized he was looking at Milhouse's file instead of Bart's.[3]
Pryor has had a much more uniformly positive influence on Lisa. On the same visit as when he accidentally disclosed the contents of Milhouse's file, Pryor spotted Lisa as a gifted child when she did a complicated puzzle and gave her age as "Three and three-eighths." He told Homer and Marge to nurture her gift.[4] Later, when Lisa goes through a rebellious phase, Pryor determines that it's the result of a developmental condition and correctly advises Homer about how to help her through it.[5]
