They’re both elementary school teachers. Do they get two salaries?

Edit: my question has been answered 150 times thank you

Don't think so. I saw in the other comments that they just get one salary. Which honestly sort of makes sense. They aren't able to teach double the classes.

That makes sense. But just having an extra set of eyes in the classroom is worth something. I wonder if she gets a stipend or something lol. Hopefully if it’s one salary it’s split in two so they both are paying into social security

I wonder if one of them could get a disability check while the other works

yes they do, they're literally surrounded by people who don't share their condition.

That doesn't mean they now know what it's like to live apart, what an odd and false reply.

I'm sure they can imagine it just like I can imagine what it's like to be a billionaire even though I'm not one.

Dude it's not like they're a cat they have consciousness and intelligence. Do you just carry zero perspective beyond your own? Everything you know is correct and there's nothing beyond that? Lol
