A girls' school faced unique problem.

A number of 12 year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the Girls' Cloakroom. Not only that, after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night the Janitor would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back.

Finally, the Head Master decided that something had to be done. He called all the girls to the Cloakroom and met them there with the Janitor. He explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the chap who had to clean the mirrors every night (You can just imagine the bored yawns from the little princesses.).

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, he asked the Janitor to show the girls how much effort was required.

So the Janitor took out a long-handled squeegee mop, dipped it in the toilet and cleaned the mirrors with it.

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

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