[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i am not a "troll" - i am a teacher! and i was serious. i wans't going to knock on classroom doors in an apron with my tray of goods. i was going to offer them up free in the teachers' lounge and then if someone liked them[b] they could do an order [/b]and i would deliver the items to them.  [b]i dont' really see how that's all that different from doing mary kay [/b]or something and teachers eat each other's food all the time. there is a constant stream of cookies and cakes and other stuff in the lounge that we all eat and no one is kicked out because they offered food without having their kitchen inspected!  you all are way over the top.[/quote]

So a colleague walks into the lounge and eats a cupcake next to a sign that says, "Enjoy! Made these last night. --Larla" How would people know to make an order? Oh, wait, you'd have to tell them. You would have to communicate that you'd be happy to take an order to bake some more cupcakes for a price. THAT is called soliciting.

As for the Mary Kay, that's also a no-no. If colleagues are doing it at school, it's not okay and should be reported. Now if you and a colleague are hanging out after work at the TGIFridays, and Madge says, "Hey Larla, I'm selling some Mary Kay. Do you want to place an order?" that's a different story. [/quote]
