According to a news report, a certain private school in
Washington recently was 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, 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. 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.
