If two separate people were teaching together they would not get the same paycheck. It's the same thing here, they do not share a mind. They probably even teach different subjects, take turns. Teaching involves lectures, they are not speaking in unison

If they were filling one position they would.

Edit: and what lectures? They’re fifth grade teachers. They applied for an open fifth grade position. One position. That’s it.

Are there other teachers where two people share one salary?

The two people would go to two separate classrooms to teach separate classes.

loads of classes require more than one teacher

Yeah, but as someone who has co-taught middle school, two teachers who can never be on different sides of the room would not address the needs of those classes. They are both doing work, but from the perspective of a school, they are not filling two roles. Most schools don’t have an extra salary laying around unaccounted for that they can afford to pay out.

Have you been to school?

Yes, and I never once had a class with more than one teacher.

The concept seems dumb. Does one just sit there and do nothing while the other teaches, and then they trade off?

You can get it if you try

Oh, some teachers are so grossly incompetent they require constant supervision of a real teacher, but union rules prevent the incompetent teacher from being fired. Now I get it.

Right.

And I hope at this point we are now on the same page.

Because I have one solution. And the other one... Would one up Dr Evil.
