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 main tenance 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 .
