It doesn't matter to me who is paying them, be it CBE or some other government entity in Edmonton. The customer (i.e. the student) doesn't change.
Teachers go into this profession knowing they're going to have to mark. Why do they think that applies to every test they administer with the exception of the last test of the semester grade 10s, 11s, and 12s write?
There is truly not a problem here. Teachers don't have to do this, but if they choose to it's paid. They have almost enough teachers to do the marking as it is, and have 30 days to fill the handful of vacant positions, drawing from an enormous pool of qualified people that have very little work to do (since the five hours/day they spend teaching in the classroom is complete). A well-organized teacher will have the lion's share of their marking already complete for their regular day job, freeing up the time they need to handle the diploma marking.
