[QUOTE="helpme, post: 347691, member: 8202"] Let's see, my oldest two made money in these ways, [LIST] [*]selling their own free lunches / snacks or free govt paid school supplies [/LIST] [LIST] [*]helping others with homework -this didn't work too well because he struggled with his own [*]allowing others to cheat off of his work [*]completing assignments or group projects himself [*]setting up other people to do someone's homework [*]setting up other people to permit cheating during tests [*]selling personal electronic equipment brought in from home [*]selling personal items brought in from home [*]stealing other people's property and selling it back to them- so their parents wouldn't find out! [*]stealing other people's property and selling it to others then "protecting" them [*]selling illegal music files or computer software or porn [*]working on other people's electronics [*]selling test answers stolen from the teachers mailboxes and desks [*]selling information on who liked who [*]selling drugs, both over the counter and those illegal [*]selling cigarettes [*]selling alcohol [*]selling athletic assistance such as hitting the baseball or catching [*]selling bribery tactics, such as oh Mrs. So and So is so mean, we will send her love notes for a week and see how she acts then [/LIST] [LIST] [*]holding stolen goods or money for someone else [*]lying to someone's parents about where their child had been [*]stealing lawn furniture was also a common ordeal in MS [*]buying candy etc from person A and selling it to person B [*]selling permission slips and hall passes [*]selling attendance or early dismissal phone calls [*]selling free meal passes in HS [*]selling a "ill beat whoever ass 4 u" [*]selling set up "dates" (yea...probably leading further than I ever wanted to know) [*]gambling, such as dice on the bus or poker during study hall [*]setting up betting pools - ie: if I get Mr. X to lose his wig in class...I get half the pool [*]setting up pools about who can have the most girls in whatever sexual manner [*]setting up pools on collecting girls underwear and bras [*]selling spray paint or work tools (believe it or now a screwdriver is a deadly weapon) [*]selling fixing report cards and selling fake web page progress reports/report cards if online [*]selling stolen property stolen by themselves or others to drug dealers or fences [*]protecting "others" as in the form of I'll bodyguard for you. This is quite profitable too! [*]selling stolen library cards or school IDs (this lets older kids out of HS back onto campus) [*]selling fake elevator or pool passes (even when the school doesn't have one) [*]selling elevator keys or parking permits [*]selling jewelry, makeup, clothes, tennis shoes, jackets found in the lost in found or stolen [/LIST] Um, blackmail, conspiracy, stealing, cheating, gambling, battery/assault I guess would be my guesses based upon my difficult child. I'm sure I am missing a ton of them that he pulled, but these are the most memorable. Boy if anyone needs help on how they sell drugs now a days I can also offer a ton of assistance. I personally had no clue! The cafeteria workers called me all by themselves the two times in MS that difficult child had a $100 bill to break. You might want to make a visit to them. Sometimes I think those cafeteria workers know more than the teachers and the other kids themselves. They also exposed a few of the "shops" the kids devised of things stolen from their own parents. Good luck. Be careful though and get to clever and they will constantly try to find new ways to "beat" you just for the principle of getting one past you. Thank god for spy-ware when they got to HS. And to those reading that have em in HS, their is no privacy while I pay the damn bills!!! [/QUOTE]
