Then I saw this.

"In exchange for their high salaries, teachers at the new school, the Equity Project, will work a longer day and year and assume responsibilities that usually fall to other staff members, like attendance coordinators and discipline deans. To make ends meet, the school, which will use only public money and charter school grants for all but its building, will scrimp elsewhere." It's almost like their saying, "Don't get too excited about the increase because we're going work your cacoons off." 

My question is -- is there a subliminal message here, that we teachers don't work enough time - or hours - in order to make more money? Or let me rephrase it, are teachers worthy of making more without working more? 

Let me know your thoughts.
