Lipstick on the Mirror
According to a news report, a certain school in Garden City, MI 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 washroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick,
they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lips.
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. He called all
the girls to the washroom and met them there with the maintenance man. He
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, he 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 printson themirror.
THE MORAL OF THIS STORY...
There are teachers, and then there are Educators.
