A while ago a politican put out a lot of TV advertisements which stated
that teachers only really work 5 classroom hours a day which turns out to
be about 45$ per hour.
I decided to apply this logic and offered to pay my mechanic double that
(90$/hr)to put new rings in my engine.

He was delighted until I pointed out that I was just paying him to have the
rings put in.
The rest, opening the engine, removing the pistons, honing, shop supplies,
replacemnt, documentation, checking with me, etc was preparation time. I
would owe him about 45$.
I liked the deal.

If you simply mean well enough to stay on the payroll, I believe there
are too
many. Now if you mean to accomplish what is traditionally expected of a
teacher......
to do it in 2000 hours a year takes a skilled and efficient professional.
