Talking Teach or Educate ?

According to a radio report, a middle school in Oregon was faced with
a unique problem. A number of 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.

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 everynight.

To demonstrate how difficult it was to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to clean the mirrors. He took out a long-handled
squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and then cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror!!

There are Teachers, and then there are Educators.

(AKA Mary)

How beautiful it is to do nothing and rest afterwards...
