[etni] trying to understand...

According to what I've just read on Ynet (
http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3474694,00.html), the finance
ministry has offered us an eventual 26% increase in salary in exchange for
an additional frontal teaching hour for each class plus an additional hour
in small groups of about five students (as I understand it, that's per
class).  So if you work 24 hours (including gmulim -- that's less than 24
frontal hours) and teach 5 classes, you'll be teaching an additional 10
hours a week.  According to my fairly good math skills, that's about a 42%
increase in hours.  So they want to pay us 26% more and have us work 42%
more?  And keep in mind that few high school teachers actually TEACH 24
hours, as our gmulim are included in those hours.  In reality, assuming 4
hours per class, we'd be teaching 50% more hours.  So have I understood this
correctly???

And the joke is that the government doesn't understand why Ran Erez hasn't
agreed to this "deal".
