| Print up a color copy of Son Duero's avatar and tell your boss this is your legal representation. If she does not want this said legal representation sitting in her hagwon everyday until she sods off then she best get down on her knees and kiss your shoes and says, "This is my waygook teacher. There is no other waygook like my waygook teacher. I will always love my waygook teacher because this waygook teacher is special to me. etc. etc. etc." |

Like heck you don't! Every school is different. There is a topic about a new teacher being offered a contract and ALREADY being asked to work Saturdays. This is at a public school.

Where is this? Link please.
Regardless then you just say "No, my contract says Mon-Fri." And there is nothing they can do about it since in most cases it is the government who owns your visa not the school. All you have to do in that case (if they insist) is call the number of the government representative and explain to him that their contract that you signed with them is being violated.
At a public school you deal with far less nonsense than a hakwon. Here are some perks:
1. You don't have to dance to the students' tune. At a hakwon if they don't like you, in 9 out of 10 cases you are gone.
2. You are thought of as a "real" teacher, at least in the students eyes. Whereas at a hakwon they will come up to your desk and just drop their assignment on your desk (in some cases only half-complete) in a public school they hand it to you using both hands (at least that's the case for me).
3. You KNOW your pay will be in the bank.
4. More respect from the parents when they visit
5. Better pay than the typical 1.9-2 million at a typical hakwon
6. You actually have time to prepare a decent lesson and not run around trying to put something together in 10 minutes.
7. Looks better on a resume.
8. You will not be made to do phone teaching
9. The classrooms are cleaned by the janitor/students
10. No Saturdays and longer vacations. |

I was working at an eikaiwa (hagwon) in Japan. Place and people were great, but in the end, does absolutely nothing for my resume unless I plan on making a career out of ESL/EFL in private institutes (and even then not so sure). |
