That is so far out of the job description, I wouldn't even know where to start. not even counting that it is working for an entirely different company.
You are saying he should only be concerned about the customer? Should I get the guy at Starbucks to come rotate my tires? How about the landscaper to come in and fix my computer? I am the customer after all, why should they complain?

WTF are you talking about? Teachers mark stuff every week if not every day. It's kind of a big part of what they do. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they teach kids stuff, then test the kids, then mark the tests to see how well the kids did? That's exactly what they're being asked to do here. Nobody is asking them to fly a plane. Your post is bizarre.

Most teachers I know don't like the whole system for Diploma tests. It's not really surprising that there isn't a ton of support for it when it's not required, not liked, and not well compensated.

I would, have and do help my customers even if I don't directly get paid. It's called providing good customer service. If, however, I had other plans or obligations and was unable to go beyond what was explicitly expected of me, then I wouldn't. Teachers have all those same options with this so I don't understand the whining.
