That puts the teachers at $561 per day to mark. You're telling me students were being paid $661 per day!? I highly doubt it.
They seem to have made a good decision since almost three quarters of the positions were filled at the time of the article with a month to fill the remaining three out of 10 spots.
Here's a genuine question I'd like you to answer: Is it possible the $200 per day on top of their regular salary was too high and $100 is more fair? Would you have been just as mad if it was dropped to $150? Why is $200 the magic number that makes all this fair? Is their a number that you think is fair, but is less than $200?

why do you believe this is on top of their regular salary.
These are two separate contracts. They do not get out of work by doing the marking. They still have to complete the terms of there existing contract with the CBE.
I do agree that if they can get enough teachers at $100 per day than they shouldn't pay more but if they are short at the end than they should increase the rate. I don't think its insulting its just trying to optimize cost for the work done.
