What time did school begin? I'm sure it was still the 7.5- 8 hours. Pay is generally uniform across the board in the same district.

Still, if a FAMILY does not VALUE education or deem it as important, teaching kids 12 hours a day means NOTHING. It will only cause (more) teacher frustration and low teacher efficacy, IMO.
