Teaching vs. Educating

A private school was faced with the problem of girls putting on lipstick in the toilets at break. After they put it on they kissed the mirrors leaving lip prints.

Every night the cleaner took them off and the next day the girls put them back. No punishment made any difference.

Finally the head decided that something had to be done so he took the girls to the toilets and asked the cleaner to show them how difficult it was to clean them off. He took out a squeegee, dipped it in a toilet and cleaned the mirrors.

Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirrors.

There are teachers and there are educators!
