It's kind of fascinating to think about. Obviously they can't teach two different classes, but they do have separate consciousnesses, so to some degree it is like having two teachers in the same classroom. They can definitely pay attention to more kids than just a solo teacher, but they can't physically help a larger number of kids. I don't really have an answer I'm just rambling.
I feel like you could justify giving them the pay of a teacher+an aide. It wouldn't be two full salaries, but it would I think compensate the benefits of having two sets of eyes.
Obviously it would a weird compromise trying to squeeze a square peg into a round hole. That's not technically what's happening (and I'm sure not what their licensure would be) but the end result paycheck seems fair.

No, but they’re 5th grade teachers which is worse IMO https://people.com/where-are-abby-brittany-hensel-now-8768309
