why isn't gum allowed at your school? |
|
I need money but can't get a job (I'm only in the 8th grade) so i was thinking about selling gum at school. I know for a matter of fact it is against the rules but i don't really care. Selling stuff at school isn't alowed and gum isn't alowed either. I just wanted to know what you guys think i should sell the gum for. I chose to sell gum because every one loves gum. Hell when i have some gum on me people always almost ask me for some. So why not start a buisness. |

I used to do this exact thing 7-8th grade. I wasn't super zealous about it, but I sold whenever I saw the chance. |

lol, yeah that doesn't work at my school with a supermarket 50-100metres from the school... |

Cigarettes sell better. Steal them from your parents. |

You must be over 40, or never went to public school. Kids don't throw gum in the trash, and instead they stick it to nearly everything when they are done with it. The reason its banned is because having gum stuck to the bottom of your desks and stuff is nasty. Especially when you change classes rooms so other people have to sit in it and stuff. |

When I was in middle and high school I use to sell porn. Made a killing on it. And when I was in elementary school I would cram paper towels up the change slot in vending machines. Then at the end of the day I would pull out the paper towel and earn about 8-10 bucks a day. Also there was apartment building with 5 vending machines I would clog up. I made bank. |

You are worried about selling gum in your school while kids nowadays in schools I know sell tobacco, booze and drugs. |

Jujutsu is the gentle art. It's the art where a small man is going to prove to you, no matter how strong you are, no matter how mad you get, that you're going to have to accept defeat. That's what jujutsu is.
My experience with capitalist endeavours in the primary school system is that the schools are usually pinko about it. I remember I ran a thriving pokemon card business once. I would purchase, sell, and resell cards. Mostly within the fifth grade, and no I didn't cheat them. Parents complained and I had to shut it down and return the money. Moral is this- if you sell the gum, spend all the money so that you can't be forced to pay compensation. But I doubt anyone would care about gum, honestly. The only reason I got in trouble, I think, is that the teacher who got angry was this fundamentalist 'oh noes pokemans is evolushun.' So I wouldn't worry about it. |

gum isnt against the rules at my school :\ |

When I was in middle school, I bought a box of blow pops from costco for 7 dollars. There were 100 blow pops in the box, which works out to 7 cents per pop. They are 10 cents individually at the convenience store, so I sold them for a quarter each. It worked well. People might be able to get them cheaper, but not while they are stuck at school and everyone buys stuff like that on impulse. Just don't get caught. They'll probably make you give the money back and you'll end up losing money on it. |

I bought a bag of lollipops once for something like $3 and sold them to students, making a profit of $8. |

If I had kids, when they were too young to get a job I wouldn't give them an allowance but I would fund these kinds of projects. |

in 5th grade i did something similar to this with my halloween candy. As i do not like candy very much i sold most of my halloween candy to other students. I never got in trouble and i made a good amount of money. Since i didnt spend any money getting the candy, my net gain was 100% |
|
But what did you spend on the costume, the means of transportation, the baskets for collecting candy? |

@OP: Since school is almost out here in the states, I'm guessing you're moving onto highschool? If so, selling gum isn't going to work. High school students are much more mobile and more wise with their money. You need to sell them something they couldn't turn around and buy easily and cheaply for themselves. I wouldn't be opposed to selling cigarettes, as somebody else said, since kids will probably get them from somewhere else anyway. You might as well be the one to profit off it. If possible, don't do it inside school, and definitely abstain from trying the cigarettes yourself. |

Well a lot of the stuff people are posting here is out right illegal. You don't want to get caught selling drugs and stuff, and you shouldn't steal from vending machines. |
