According to a news report, a certain private Catholic school 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 provided
it was of a natural or neutral skin tone, 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, Sister Mary, 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, Sister
Mary asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was
required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in a 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!!!
