Yeah, no shit, they're 2 people, but they're teachers in the US
If they had to be paid 2 salaries, no district in the country would hire them. They can only teach 1 class. With all the will and accommodations in the world, they could only teach 1 class still.
They can still only really do 1 persons worth of work. They jointly control 1 body. Even if they did an office job, they could still only write 1 report at a time. Im sure there are some jobs that they could do 2 peoples.
I will never be able to work some jobs because I'm disabled, sad to say, but it's true. It would nice if they did get 2 salaries but in reality its unlikely unless they find a job that could do it.
But that's wrong. They're doing two people's work. They're both working.
That's two people. Two jobs. Two pays.
Unless one is having a nap during work hours. Or playing gameboy.
Does the other person, have free time? No.
They're both working.
I will never be able to work some jobs because I'm disabled
And that goes for them, however,
If you're suggesting, that due to your ableness, you should be allowed to be paid half as much as someone else.
I don't agree. That's exploitative.
What you're arguing for, that if someone who is disabled is only half as capable, they should only get half the pay, is horrifying in any reasonable society.
Their work offered them a job and they accepted. They weren't forced to accept the job offer. How is that exploitation? Surely you're not saying they can't quit?
You're saying the school, and school district, and tax payers should be forced to pay them twice the salary, when the position they applied for is one teaching position. There isn't a reasonable accommodation for them to teach two different classes, if they want to teach in person. Why should the school be forced to offer 2 positions, when they only offer one per class? How is that fair? If they want 2 salaries shouldn't they find a job where that can be reasonably accommodated. There probably are positions even in teaching where that is possible. Are you saying people should be unreasonably accommodated?
A lot of people, and I mean a lot, accept things, which are also exploitative.
If they want to teach, which I assume is the case, they may not be able to, without accepting this exploitation.
Right?
You're saying the school, and school district, and tax payers should be forced to pay them twice the salary
No. No no no.
They should pay them a normal salary.
Both of them. It's TWO people.
How is that fair?
I really don't think, you're idea of fair is healthy. Your version of fair is "disabled? Suck shit then".
I think fair, demands fair pay. And I think fair also demands that when someone has a disability, where possible, they be able to have the same opportunities as others.
Them being conjoined, should not reasonably be a barrier to teaching, that you ask it to be.
They should not have to choose, half pay, to do that. That's a failure of fairness.
