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.

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.

... 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?
