they definently shouldn't of paid for two college tuitions but technically they only perform the job of one teacher. Also, they only have to feed, clothes, and house one person. I'm really not trying to be an asshole and am just playing devil's advocate. Consistency should be key here though. Two tuitions... two salaries.
If they had to get 2 salaries they simply wouldn't get hired. They can only really do 1 persons worth of work at a time. It sucks but thats the way it goes.

Aka, the fuck people with disability method of thinking.
1 persons worth of work
But they're not. They're 2 people. Who are... Conjoined. That's what it means.
It sucks but thats the way it goes.
... That's just how you think about it.
You're also just discovering the hardship people with disability face and how often they accept unfair conditions because of the lack of opportunity they face, the same happens for many vulnerable people. Have you ever wondered why illegal Mexicans do insanely hard labour for unfair pay?
Because they have no other choice in an exploitative system.
You're so close to experience an emancipation moment. I think that is fascinating.
Yeah, no shit, they're 2 people, but they're teachers in the US
If they had to be paid 2 salaries, no district in the country would hire them. They can only teach 1 class. With all the will and accommodations in the world, they could only teach 1 class still.
They can still only really do 1 persons worth of work. They jointly control 1 body. Even if they did an office job, they could still only write 1 report at a time. Im sure there are some jobs that they could do 2 peoples.
I will never be able to work some jobs because I'm disabled, sad to say, but it's true. It would nice if they did get 2 salaries but in reality its unlikely unless they find a job that could do it.
But that's wrong. They're doing two people's work. They're both working.
That's two people. Two jobs. Two pays.
Unless one is having a nap during work hours. Or playing gameboy.
Does the other person, have free time? No.
They're both working.
I will never be able to work some jobs because I'm disabled
And that goes for them, however,
If you're suggesting, that due to your ableness, you should be allowed to be paid half as much as someone else.
I don't agree. That's exploitative.
What you're arguing for, that if someone who is disabled is only half as capable, they should only get half the pay, is horrifying in any reasonable society.
What you're arguing for, that if someone who is disabled is only half as capable, they should only get half the pay,
I mean, if they're only half as capable (I'm not making that argument, you are) they probably shouldn't even be hired. The students deserve a quality education. I think they're 100% capable, but that doesn't mean they should get 200% pay for doing 100% of the job. The fact of the matter is they are doing the job of one person, so they get the pay of 1 person. They knew this going in. It wasn't a surprise to them after graduation to learn that they wouldn't be paid for two people to teach one class. There are jobs that they could have been hired that would earn them pay for 2 people, but they chose one that is only suited for the pay of one person.
I mean, if they're only half as capable (I'm not making that argument, you are)
No, I'm not.
I'm saying they're fully capable. They're fully doing two jobs. They're two people, both working.
You're the one, saying they're doing one job. Two people, sharing one job, so they get paid half each.
Would you apply that logic to anyone else? I hope not. The hours aren't half and half are they?
They knew this going in
Ah, exploitation is ok if you opt in! I'll let the indentured servants in the middle east know!
It wasn't a surprise to them
Yeah I imagine there is a lot of shit they aren't surprised by. I wouldn't extend that to mean it's good.
There are jobs that they could have been hired that would earn them pay for 2 people, but they chose one that is only suited for the pay of one person.
... This is so dystopian. What other person do you apply that logic to?
Oh you shouldn't be a teacher, you're more suited to a supermarket role, so it's ok to pay half?
