I asked my cosmotology teacher if for the hair show we're holding, I could sell crafts that I make (like makeup bags, etc.) -- and she said she'd ask the principal but probably not because the income would be going to me.
I know the issue isn't with LAW, because the school can sell cupcakes, food, clothes, flowers, and whatever they want, and they have. The issue with school is that they're almost like a RUNNING ENTERPRISE. They don't want anything sold unless the income is going to the SCHOOL, or if it is for a charity. All they care about is getting as much money as they can (we even opened up a school store yesterday).
I thought school was a place for us to LEARN, and GROW, and develop SKILLS. I obviously can't go buy a store, and sell things, or even go online and sell things. I wanted to use this opportunity to SHOW people what I have to sell, and learn some business skills because it'd be easier to learn in school because it's a closed environment, and it's an easy way to gain experience and to get the word out. I mean in school we can sell pizza, or raffles, and whatnot because all the income is school gained (us students just do all the work for free). It isn't that selling isn't allowed, it's just they want the income to themselves.
I don't know.. I'm not asking for much. I just asked if I could have a small DESK to just have my things on display for things to buy. I doubt I need a permit -- the school sure as hell doesn't bother to get permits on bake sales, or random cupcake sales they have.
Answer
This happened at my school, at my school you get into loads of trouble if you are caught 'selling'
at my school; first; people were selling just odd chocolate bars, 50p a chocolate bar.. but then people realised big money could be brought in and I know a boy who makes around £50 ($81) a week from selling chocolate, the school see this as 'scamming' kids out of money, and instead of buying healthy food and giving money to the school they are buying chocolate and fizzy drinks from kids that have got it from a discount shop for about 10p (16cents) from that people found new idea's since so many people were selling chocolate and it moved onto cigarettes and people were stealing cigarettes from people; I actually saw a boy take £20 ($32) worth of cigarettes out of someones bag without hesitation and I asked him how much he sold them for and he sold them for £30 ($48) and people are buying ONE cigarettes for £3 ($5) which is shocking, but that's how much kids are charging.
I know yours is a different kind of thing but that was an example; but for my school, it a health and safety issue; people buying chocolate from discount shops and cigarettes which they have no idea where they have came from, but like you said; if the money isn't going to the school then they want nothing to do with it.

How to make a good bake sale speech?
Miss confu
I'm doing a bake sale for my school and really need an influencing paragraph regarding my sale. The bake sale is back to school so cookies and milk style. Can anybody write me a short speech that includes all this. Any ideas welcome :)
Answer
Still confused at who your audience is and the intent of the speech. Are you speaking to kids trying to convince them and their parents to make products for the bake sale? Are you speaking to kids trying to drum up attendance for bake sale buyers?
Calling all bakers and dessert fans. "Insert School Name" is holding a bake sale to help raise funds for "insert worthy causes". Your help is sorely needed and much appreciated. So, show off your baking skills and help us kids at the same time. Cookies, Brownies, Cakes, Cupcakes or any other sweet confections that you make.
(you really need to expand the types of things that you want here. Do you want just sweets or are you including savory dishes and soups and stews like some bake sales include).
If you don't have the time to bake, we also welcome bottled water, small bags of chips, baggies for packaging individual portions of cookies and even financial donations so that we can purchase the necessary supplies.
And, last but not least, we need your sweet tooth. Please come on down to the best bakery in town on "insert date and time" to sample some of our fine goodies. Show your support and bring the whole family down. And, don't forget to tell your friends to stop by too.
Next tell them how to sign up for donations of baked goods and how/when to bring in their goodies.
