When public school teachers do extra classes (art classes, math classes, English classes, etc.) between 2:40 and 4:40, do they receive some kind of compensation (extra pay, extra "points", etc.) for doing them, or do they do it without receiving any form of compensation?

Yes, usually they recieve pay that would be much higher than a native speaker. My Korean friend (contract non-certified teacher) gets 65,000 per class for the after school program.

What about during summer and winter break camps?

In my area Korean PS teachers get Chuseok and Seollal bonuses too.

Any camp I've ever worked the budget is about 1-1.2 million.

100,000-15,0000 goes to supplies
300,000 goes to each native teacher (usually 2)
The rest goes to the Korean teacher that sits in the office and does nothing.

My wife's co-teacher used to stay at school until 8 pm shopping on the internet getting paid for the whole time she was there.

I'm a bit surprised at the comments here. My wife is a Korean public school teacher in Gyeonggi-Do and she gets paid the same 35,000 won per afterschool hour that GEPIK teachers get. When she stays until 10 pm to supervise students, she makes around 7,000 won per hour.
