There are teachers


According to a news report, a certain private school in Vancouver 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, but after they put
on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving
dozens of little lip prints.

Every night the custodian 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
custodian. 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 mir rors, she
asked the custodian 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.

Priceless!

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are teachers....and then there are educators
