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 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 little lip prints.
Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day,
the girls would do it again.
Finally the principal decided that 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 how much effort was
required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet,
and cleaned the mirror.
Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
There are teachers, and then there are educators...
