Ctlawyer, it was wrong for her to laugh, she should have simply billed her rate. I am sure the shul would appreciate Torah enough for a measly 400. The halakha is you can charge for missing work, not for teaching, and also if you hire someone without asking for a price, you will have to pay the reasonable amount.
One Rav in CT in fact claimed tongue in cheek that he went to law school do that he can ask for a higher salary as a Rav for missing work
