They're fully doing two jobs.

Teaching one class is one job whether you have 1 teacher, 12 teachers, or 3 dogs in a trenchcoat.

But they're, BOTH, teaching that class.

That's two people. Working hours.

If you have 12 teachers doing that, you need to pay, 12 times.

That's how pay works.

Yeah well that's not in the budget so Miss Hensel and Mrs. Bowling are shit out of luck.

I understand the consequences of not accepted unfair pay in your eyes.

In my opinion, that's a little evil for me. And not how we should want to treat disabled or vulnerable people.

“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.

That is a wildly asshole take.

Not only do conjoined twins experience all the issues that come with it, health and socially...

Because they are joined, they DON'T DESERVE to be paid independently? Because it would be unfair to others? Are you sure you think that? That's crazy.

We're still on the "half a job" thing.

are 2 different conversations.

You're right, I'm saying how we should.

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.

I'm going to wow again,

Because you just said, that they can have fair pay, when they can walk away from each other.

.... Wow.

the business.

Firstly, no, businesses shouldn't be a free for all with fair pay.

Secondly, it's teaching.

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
