According to a news report, a certain private school was faced with a unique problem.
A number of middle school 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 maintenance man 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.

girls having fun, ha? was a good joke. this reminds me of the gcr(girl's common room) of my college where there were lipstick marks at the sides of the mirror! but there was no maintenance done of that mirror as such. we used to clean the mirror ourselves using duster and paper!

What a funny way to teach the girls a lesson. Had this been real and not a joke, I bet it taught them more than yelling at them all the time. I could actually imagine something like this happening. Thanks for giving me a laugh.
