I did maths ks3 sats marking for a couple of years just as they were scrapped and the money for that seemed reasonable to me for the amount of work I had to do.
A friend is doing GCSE Maths marking and thinks there could be vacancies if I want to do some. I'm considering it. I'm just wondering how much work I would be expected to do and how much money it ends up as. I know that GCSE marking now is different to SAts marking 5 years ago and it's pretty much all online now, whereas when I did my marking I was sent boxes full of actual papers. Also with the SATs they were done at the start of May and I did all the marking during half term, but obviously that won't be the case for the GCSEs.
Has anybody done it for Maths? Will I need to go on a day's training or will that be done online as well? If you teach ft, with little gained time and a family, would you do it? We're not desperate for the money but a little extra would always be nice and might pay for a holiday.
