What you're arguing for, that if someone who is disabled is only half as capable, they should only get half the pay,
I mean, if they're only half as capable (I'm not making that argument, you are) they probably shouldn't even be hired. The students deserve a quality education. I think they're 100% capable, but that doesn't mean they should get 200% pay for doing 100% of the job. The fact of the matter is they are doing the job of one person, so they get the pay of 1 person. They knew this going in. It wasn't a surprise to them after graduation to learn that they wouldn't be paid for two people to teach one class. There are jobs that they could have been hired that would earn them pay for 2 people, but they chose one that is only suited for the pay of one person.

No, I'm not.
I'm saying they're fully capable. They're fully doing two jobs. They're two people, both working.
You're the one, saying they're doing one job. Two people, sharing one job, so they get paid half each.
Would you apply that logic to anyone else? I hope not. The hours aren't half and half are they?
They knew this going in
Ah, exploitation is ok if you opt in! I'll let the indentured servants in the middle east know!
It wasn't a surprise to them
Yeah I imagine there is a lot of shit they aren't surprised by. I wouldn't extend that to mean it's good.
There are jobs that they could have been hired that would earn them pay for 2 people, but they chose one that is only suited for the pay of one person.
... This is so dystopian. What other person do you apply that logic to?
Oh you shouldn't be a teacher, you're more suited to a supermarket role, so it's ok to pay half?
Ok, so it's like...everything else in life? You said "your point about my comma usage is invalid because you used commas wrong" (paraphrased, of course) even though the person used commas in a valid way? Then I called you out on it, and you call me a troll? If anything, you're the troll here.
“How we should” and “how we do” are 2 different conversations.
Them getting a single salary is fair to all the other teachers who are a single teacher doing the job of a single teacher. Government disability should cover the rest essentially as unemployment, but it likely does not.
You can “wow” all you want. That’s the society we live in.
If Lisa shows up to work the cash register, but insists on having her emotional support friend Mark there, it doesn’t matter if Mark is also working the register. Nobody is going to pay them 2 wages.
The fact that it’s a disability should be dealt with by the government, not the business.
You can call me an asshole all you want for pointing out the obvious that other teachers would take issue with them getting 2x the salary to do the job of 1 person.
they are doing one persons worth of job, you get paid to do a job, they can only do the job of one person, even if they are two people, so they are going to get paid for the job they do, which is that of one person.
They could've chosen a different career that allowed both of them to get paid by choosing a career that allowed them to do the job of two people, but they didnt, it was their choice
