"Three first-place winners received $100,000, and 15 second-place winners received $50,000, with the awards divided between the teacher and the school's skilled trades program."
What a sneaky way to bribe public school teachers to promote commie Red China Harbor Freight Products to their tax payer funded students.
I'd have no problem if all the money went to the schools through each school districts superintendent and elected board of education. For the paid teacher to receive money directly from the private company is wrong and most likely illegal. I taught auto mechanics and later started an office machine repair class in a public adult school. One of the first things I learned was which companies would work with you as I was told over, around and under the table. Fortunately I never had to "deal" for tools and supplies because I bought out of a catalog. Paying the public funded teachers extra for any reason by a private company is wrong and though not a lawyer i'm darn sure is illegal. The president of Harbor Freight should be federally prosecuted or at bribing public paid teachers.
Even if the money given to the teacher must be used for classroom supplies, it's still wrong. We fund schools through our tax money and elect boards of education to over see our tax money. All money used in our schools needs to go through budgeting or at least cause an equal reduction is trade classroom money allotment. The hook I'd guess which is wrong and allows for under handed bribing to purchase a suppliers product is if you don't do it that way you don't get the money.
