Channel One executives shot themselves in the foot again. This time they may not recover.
Channel One’s offer of $500 to school teachers if they sign up a school for Channel One has backfired on them. State ethics officers, state attorneys general, and state superintendents in many states are now investigating Channel One.
As of late today, Friday, September 8, Channel One is still offering teachers the $500 bounty on their web site.
The other contests being run by Channel One which encourage teachers to sacrifice school time in order to secure proof that teachers are honoring the contract will also get Channel One and teachers in trouble.
Jim Metrock said, "The Channel One people have very little regard for teachers. These people think teachers are nothing but lap dogs to do Channel One’s bidding. Teachers should demand that their principal unplug Channel One for good. Channel One didn’t care if teachers got in trouble or if they were fired. All Channel One is looking for are schools to replace those they have lost."
