   Wow!  As someone currently looking for a job, I'm truly troubled
by your posting and people have been making excellent replies. I
completely agree with the person who commented that vacation days are
of little use if you can't afford to travel as well as the person who
said professionalism is a two-way street.  It honestly sounds like
you don't really appreciate your employee.
   In fact, the most troubling thing I found in your post was the
"Position includes many aspects not related to educator job."  It
sounds like you've hired an intelligent employee and then, in
addition to paying her horrible wages, you are adding insult to
injury by asking her to do (reading between the lines here)
secretarial work.  This woman has a Masters degree... be realistic...
would you want to go to school for 6 years and then have an employer
who didn't appreciate you, as well as no money?  I've been in that
position and it is belittling, especially for someone strong of
character.  In my case I quit (something that normally goes against
my grain) and my employer lost a valuable employee.  My advice is
start to appreciate her, personally and monetarily, or let her go and
try to find (the operative word is "try") someone else who will work
for that.  Ever heard the saying that you get what you pay for?
