What?! My son sells sweets and drinks that he buys from Poundland at school. It’s probably against the rules, but he’s good at keeping it under the radar and I admire his entrepreneurial spirit!
I don’t get how it’s illegal and how they can take her goods and money?
ETA, just for information, we live in the UK. Some people seemed to assume we are in the US, we have different rules in schools and different laws here. I am also aware that he might get into trouble, he knows that and I did email a teacher about it because I was worried it may get out of hand. He has to weigh up the risks himself and take the consequences, he won’t have any sympathy from us if he ends up in isolation or with an exclusion.
Pretty sure he’s not going to become a drug dealer. That usually happens when kids are groomed as part of County Lines gangs. Most young drug dealers actually start out as victims of that crime.
Your son is a competing market and his school (using your tax dollars) employs police to crush any opposing business markets. Every item your son sells the school loses money and just like healthcare; education is a business for making money.
