Maybe the reasoning was this...?

They have two brains so they're two students learning.

They have one body so it's just one working

That’s it. They’re only doing one role. It’s not like they’re filling two teaching positions.

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.

If they were filling one position they would.

Are there other teachers where two people share one salary?

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

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.
