According to a news report, a 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 make up their faces
in the bathroom. That was fine. But after they put on their lipstick
they would press their lips against the mirror leaving dozens of lip
prints in a great variety of colors.
Every night, the maintenance man would clean them off, but the
next day, the girls would do it again. Finally the principal decided
that enough was enough and something had to be done.
She called all the girls into 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 just how much effort
was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in
the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Ever since then, no more
lip prints have been left on the mirror.
There are teachers, and then, there are educators ............
