Did they actually have to pay for 2 degrees. That's so messed up😭

School treats them like 2 people when it comes to taking tests. Work treats them like 1 person because they can only be at one place at the same time 😕

Is this fact or assumption?

u/NapoIe0n Dec 14 '24

It's a fact. They are two different persons, therefore each needed to complete her own education.

u/Kyokono1896 Dec 11 '24

I mean that makes sense. They can only do the work of one person.

If it was physical labor, maybe.

But it's more of mental work rather than a physical one.

Two brains; two mouths; two eyes each - they can work it out..

It's not like they can't talk/explain or think in parallel. lol

u/Kyokono1896 Dec 12 '24

No, they're in the same classroom teaching the same class. They're doing one job

u/hein-e Dec 11 '24

What about grading papers while also teaching?

u/VSkyRimWalker Dec 11 '24

With what hands?

u/Kyokono1896 Dec 11 '24

Exactly. If she had four arms and could multitask it'd be a different story. And what does she need two paychecks for anyway? They literally share a body. They don't need anymore money than anyone else.

u/VSkyRimWalker Dec 11 '24

Well, I guess she needs to pay back 2 student loans. But that doesn't mean they should be paid double, just that it was unfair they needed to pay two times

2

u/hein-e Dec 11 '24

Gotta either treat them as one or two, cant be picking and choosing

2

u/Kyokono1896 Dec 11 '24

You can because the circumstances are different in each situation.

Im sure this woman got scholarships and aid up the wahzoo, dude. She's an inspiration story. She probably has zero student debt.

From Wikipedia...

The twins' lives have been covered in the popular media, including Life) magazine and The Oprah Winfrey Show. They were interviewed on The Learning Channel in December 2006, discussing their daily lives and future plans. They starred in their own reality television series, Abby & Brittany, on TLC) in 2012.

I'm doubting they had to take loans, if they had to pay at all.

One to write one to teach. You don’t need both for either

u/Kyokono1896 Dec 11 '24

That's nonsense. You're still only teaching one subject. She shouldn't get two paychecks, she's one body. Sorry but that's dumb.

3

u/hein-e Dec 11 '24

They could be a teacher and teachers assistent in one, not the same wage but still more than one teacher. Treating them as one person is dumb too

u/Kyokono1896 Dec 11 '24 edited Dec 11 '24

It makes sense to me in this case. I mean they're two separate women with two different brains, so they both need degrees, but they can't be in two spots at the same time so obviously they have to share a career. Maybe she's capable of doing slightly more than one person, but certainly not close to 2 people.

I mean I guess they could do what you said, and they might even be able to get it done if they tried, but that's up to them.

And the husband…how does he do it?

Cardboard divider on the center shoulder

u/incindia Dec 11 '24

I guess that's better than a black bag lol

u/Jaiymze Dec 11 '24

Center shoulder, lol.

u/Healthy_Pay9449 Dec 11 '24

I mean, you could honestly study half the material and pass.

u/fartinmyhat Dec 11 '24

one of them has to put a bag over her head when the other is taking a test.

u/Regiona1AtBest Dec 11 '24

Fairly certain they got HELLA scholarships though, I sincerely doubt they have much, if any student debt. We share the same Alma Mater and I can say with relative certainty that they were a pretty big deal for the university

u/Autotomatomato Dec 11 '24

Pretty cool that the rally lights maker gives out scholarships.

2

u/BurgundyHolly345 Dec 11 '24

it's possible they had access to more financial support or resources that helped them minimize or avoid debt.

u/kaielias Dec 11 '24

Not the point

u/Dewy_Wanna_Go_There Dec 11 '24

Seems like it was their choice to both get degrees (likely based off the virtually free ride) Could easily just have enrolled one of them officially, and who could stop the other from learning it all anyway.
