Teacher, or Educator?
According to a news report, a certain
private school in Washington recently faced a unique problem. A number
of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick, and 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 to do
something. 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...
