Last night my family was discussing the tough times facing public schools in Tulsa and elsewhere. My son, Noah, who’s in the 4th grade, offered one of his favorite jokes (from Jokes for Children, Marguerite Kohl and Frederica Young, 1963):
A little boy had heard about how crowded the schools were in his city and was discussing the problem with his grade school principal. After listening to the little fellow for a few minutes, the principal said to him, “I think it’s very thoughtful of you, but I don’t really feel that your resignation is the solution to our crowded school problem.”
Noah wants the powers to be to know that should Tulsa Public Schools decide to go this route, he’d accept a very reasonable severance package of two Nintendo game cartridges and a new IPod.
