Are the teachers paid extra to mark the scripts ?

Sounds like quite a miserable 4 days.
Can't even have unlimited supply of coffee and snacks.

Not a single cent extra! V miserable 4 days indeed!

I taught at a JC before. The GCE 'A' Levels exams scripts for most of the subjects were sent overseas for marking. However, my colleagues (MT teachers), who were deployed to mark the Mother Tongue exam scripts, were paid for marking, if I don't remember wrongly. Maybe, the rules have changed since then, which was quite many years ago...

Tomorrow is another siong day. It is not too late for parents to find out which is their DS/DD's marking centre. :evil:

No ginseng, cushion also can; the older markers sure to appreciate.

Osim ... 天王椅!... :rotflmao:

Vlim, you sure making \"huge investment\". Other than delivering ginseng, you now want to deliver Osim massage chair (high end one :shock:). Have you found out which centre and how many (depending on how many teachers marking :evil: ) to deliver?

All from civil service, but totally different treatment.
