According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was
recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were
beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was
fine, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips to
the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance
man would remove them, and the next day the girls would put them back. 


 


Finally, the principal decided that something had to be done. She called
all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man.
She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for
the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just
imagine the yawns from the little princesses). To demonstrate how difficult
it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the
girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee,
dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there
have been no lip prints on the mirror.


 


There are teachers ... and then there are educators.
