Stop me if you’ve heard this one before
Last week, the New York Times published an article about a rise in dental problems among Americans at the same time that dentists’ fees have hit record levels.
Today, the Times has a letter to the editor from Steven Lauridsen of Geneva, IL, with a modest proposal for improving the nation’s choppers.
If you’ve been following No Child Left Behind, the proposal will be familiar to you — it’s a very condensed version of “No Dentist Left Behind,” a parody that has been around nearly as long as the law itself, attributed to former school superintendent John Taylor.
Apparently, the Times hadn’t heard this one before.
Hey, if it helps point out the problems with NCLB, we’ll listen to an old joke again!
