If they had to get 2 salaries they simply wouldn't get hired.
Aka, the fuck people with disability method of thinking.
1 persons worth of work
But they're not. They're 2 people. Who are... Conjoined. That's what it means.
It sucks but thats the way it goes.
... That's just how you think about it.
You're also just discovering the hardship people with disability face and how often they accept unfair conditions because of the lack of opportunity they face, the same happens for many vulnerable people. Have you ever wondered why illegal Mexicans do insanely hard labour for unfair pay?
Because they have no other choice in an exploitative system.
You're so close to experience an emancipation moment. I think that is fascinating.
But they only do the work that is equal to one person. Because they are conjoined they aren't the equivalent of 2 teachers, but rather one. Jeez, your ability to read is lower than my chance of getting a girlfriend
They're two people. And they're doing the work, of two people, because, they're both there doing the work.
Imagine you and your work mate, you have two salaries.
If I put a jumper on you, so you can't move away from each other.
And I glue it on real good so you're stuck like that.
Is it ok to half your pay? Or maybe, fire you! That's be fine, right? That's so good, that's so good until you realise that's real. And that is bad for you. And now you can't pay your bills and your lifestyle is fucked and it's not your fault you didn't ask for the jumper it's just how it is....
Welcome to the bane of the disability, where the loser of the predatory assholery, is now YOU.
Then you'd care.
So I suggest, we employ empathy. And we decide that actually, they are two people. And they're both working. Which is backed up, by being true.
Nobody is denying that they are 2 people. But they are only one teacher. It's not the same as having, say a teacher's aid, who is a seperate human being who can help other students/watch them.
Let's look at this logically. Since that seems to be a struggle for you, I'll make it simple. Schools (especially public schools) don't have a lot of money. Having teachers cost money. The twins can teach. But they can only teach one class at a time. Who else can teach one class at a time? A single teacher. That's why they get paid a single salary.
Why isn't this getting through your head? They teach one class, they are effectively one teacher. Because they aren't as efficient as two TEACHERS, TEACHING SEPERATE CLASSES, they don't get the double salary.
I think our society is capable of paying conjoined twins fairly.
But if we pay them double for one job, something of someone else has to be cut to compensate for that pay
I don't care how many classes it is. They're both at work.
On average, a part time teacher teaches less classes than a full time teacher. Do you propose that they make the same amount as a full time teacher since they both work?
Teachers are salaried, not paid hourly (although I'm unsure about the twins' situation). They receive a single salary for the work they do, and since they aren't doing the work of two teachers, they don't get double the pay. While they collaborate, they complete one job together, not the equivalent of two separate roles.
