The Difference between Teachers and Educators

Some may have seen this before...Received via email this morning.

According to a news report, a certain private school in Markham, OH 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 maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. Several memos were posted about this - all having no effect. Finally the Principal decided that something had to be done.

She called all the girls to the bathroom & met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it was to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls just how hard it the mirrors were to clean.

Following his instructions, the maintenance man took out a long-handled squeegee, solemnly dipped it in the nearest toilet bowl, and scrubbed at the mirror.

There was complete silence in the room.

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


There are Teachers... and then there are Educators.
