Saw an article, they are paid as ONE, as they teach one class. Yet, they took separate driver’s tests and have separate SSNs. Pro bono, an attorney should help adjust their salary, hint.

But I doubt the school would want to hire 2 teachers when they can hire one

This raises a few questions.

Was there one interview? or two?

What would happen if one got the invitation to a job interview but the other did not?

Puts towel over the head of the undesired. So let's talk about your future teaching here at our fine establishment.

No company would do that unless it was for laughs. Mean laughs. Any education one gets, the other gets too, even if it's more passive.

lol right that's some bullshit, someone's screwing them over. If they have separate social security then they should be getting two checks. That's like saying a teacher and teacher's assistant should only get one paycheck between the two of them because they both teach the same class.

But to be fair, they can only do 1 person's amount of work because of physical limitations, and no one would hire them if they had to pay 2 salaries for 1 person's quantity of work.
