UFT offering teachers $25 per hour to sell in-person schooling

As enrollment in city public schools plummets, the teachers’ union is offering members cold hard cash to coax students back this fall.

In a recent email to members, the United Federation of Teachers offered to pay $25 per hour to make house visits “to encourage a return to in-person learning for all students during the 2021-2022 school year.” Mayor Bill de Blasio announced back in May that schools would reopen this fall — without a remote option.
