Lipstick in Schools

According to a news report, a certain private school
in Victoria recently was faced with a unique problem.

A number of 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....
