Will public school salaries for English teachers go down with students being afforded one more Saturday off pre month and with them being afforded yet another Saturday off a month next year?

Most public school teachers don't work Saturdays, so there will be no change.

Why would they? Our contracts (at least for GEPIK) state we don't work on Saturdays or Sundays or holidays. We are paid for the work we do between M-F. We don't work on Saturdays, nor do we get paid for them.

Yes, but won't they require more time with other classes besides English since they don't have that extra time anymore on Saturdays?

Most schools will just make the day longer. I come in for saturday CA classes which are fun and I get more time off during holidays.

Saturday is typically a half-day.

Not sure about the upper grades, but I know most elementary schools finish at lunch time on Wednesdays- easy enough to just add afternoon classes there
