----- Original Message ----- From: "sbshai" <sbshai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: praying for an answer Pray for pay? Isn't that a bit mercenary?! Let's face it, teaching is not a career whose [financial] remuneration can ever be equivalent to output: There is no way to adequately pay a dedicated teacher because she/he's on the job around the clock (somewhat like a devoted parent)! Of course, this does not imply that we should work without proper compensation; however, being paid for praying with our students sends off the wrong vibes.
