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

If they did more knowledge work, they would probably be able to find a job that pays them separately.

But a teacher, especially for small children, requires them to be physically engaged with the children. Their medical condition really prevents them from being able to teach two different classes. So it doesn't make sense to pay them double the normal teacher pay, when they can they only do the work of a single teacher. Unless they are able to handle more kids in class. But I am fairly sure each School district has soft limits on classroom sizes

But if they were an engineer or programmer (knowledge work; ideally remote work) where their physical limitations would not be as relevant and should be able to get 2 incomes
