I don't refer to my contract every time I'm posed with a new task because I'm a grown up and understand I need to go above and beyond when looking at the big picture of what my company needs to accomplish. Who else should be marking these tests? Of course it needs to be teachers.
Quit worrying about who your employer is and look at who your customer is: students. It doesn't matter who signs your cheque; your job of educating and grading students hasn't changed.
And holy crap, here you are again with the "it is NOT part of our 12-month contract". Guy, people that work in the real world are expected to be somewhat flexible to accomplish what needs to be done within their organization. Did I go to university for four years to become a writer so I could stay late five nights in a row putting marketing message stickers on water bottles? Of course not, but after my day job is done I am occasionally required to help in other areas of our business so the company as a whole accomplishes what it needs to do. You have completely lost sight of the bigger picture of what is required of you and, frankly, it's ridiculous.

Wow, I hope you feel better after that vent.
