Lipstick at school
.... a certain school was faced with a unique problem.
A number of 12 – year- old girls where beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the toilet area.
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 some thing had to be done.
She called all the girls to the toilets and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for staff 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….
