Strategy: Require more, give less. Add some good old fashioned Guilt (you make more than your students), national pride/everyone's gotta tighten their belts (though someone's doing well out there), and sense of obligation (it's for the children).

More than ever is a good time to get out of teaching and touching the leaders of tomorrow. Though the teacher is qualified, they are making less than their classmates.

But, teachers do get the summer off.
