According to a news report, a certain private school in Victoria, BC recently was faced with a unique problem.
A number of year 12 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 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.
Thanks Chi Phui
Another lesson learned.
I love this story, but we do realize, don’t we, that it’s just a story? Cleaning surfaces with toilet water would be a public health code violation. It’s just not going to happen. Sorry to be spoilsport, because I like this story too … but it is just an amusing ‘what if’.
Crispy, nothing says it wasn’t a set up just for the occasion…Collusion between staff and administration.
OT, sorry all, but Rev, I just responded to you on the prison thread from a couple of days ago.
Got it, Paul.
Rev,
thanks, but instead of doing your utmost, you should expand your horizons, you might find you can expand your horizons!
Now,back to the on topic comments….
wow does that sound silly!!
No more than normal, Paul… (just kidding)
