You are a complete and utter moron. I want to just see you try to do this because I'm betting you will go about it in a totally illegal way. You have zero common sense and it's pretty frightening.

I actually worked in a school where an employee did this. She sold breakfast burritos by leaving an envelope by the basket. It worked because it was once a day, cheap, and low pressure. She was also a lower paid assistant and charged $2. I doubt she cleared $25 a week

Still no.

Selling food requires a license/permit. There are rules about what the kitchen must be like and it might need to be inspected. Your home kitchen won't pass.

Plus, it's inappropriate, as so many other people have said.

I don't think OP actually gets that. I'm pretty sure she plans to sell without a permit. And then I guess cross her fingers no one gets sick because without a license, they will sue her, not her business.

So where do you teach, OP?

Yes, it makes me think even worse of you than I originally did. Shit, I hope you're not one of my kid's teachers. You are the reason I consider homeschooling. What dumb things are you telling my kids? How can you teach critical thinking skills to children if you don't have any yourself?

If you did sell baked goods, it would be an illegal business. The food and kitchen isn't inspected or certified, and I doubt you would pay taxes on the income.

It doesn't matter what you do, this is a bad idea.

Doesn't your school have enough reasons to siphon money from people dollar by dollar? Ours sure does. If I were in a bitchy mood one day I would probably bring in some of my own cupcakes and set them out in the staff room for free.

I just mentioned this to my husband who is also a teacher. He laughed and said "NO."

First, you need to ensure that this is even allowed in your school district. Many school districts have explicit rules that there is no solicitation by staff members (not just teachers, but anyone employed by the district) on school property. Additionally, you better be very, very certain that you monitor the sales. You can't even have a box of items with a cash box for people to leave money. If a student were to purchase, even accidentally, an item, then it crosses from school regulations to legal violations. In many jurisdictions, solicitation of any goods or services to a minor, even non-sexual, is considered a crime and could cost you your job, or even get you prosecuted. In your case, it would be a misdemeanor, but it could cost you not only your job, but your career.

You need to find a place other than your school to do this, if this is what you want to do.

All of the same problems. Come on, OP!
