According to a news report, a certain private school in Boston
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, 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 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.
