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. |
