Yes Bary, your calculations are correct! 
They want us to work more for less pay per hour!

 The way I see it, we are better off without the pay increase offered if we 
have to work more hours. Let them just add the hours they cut, allow us to 
teach smaller class and I will feel that we have achieved something.

  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".
