Allow children to do sales within school premises in controlled and safe manner
Children to have a set day a week/month or term where they are allowed in school premises to do trading, either reselling or selling their own craft.
Children will benefit from learning rules of negotiation, diplomacy and conflict resolution as well as rules and regulations when it comes to businesses and trading. Will set children up for legal sales and not on the streets where conflict could end up being fatal.
It has potential to shrink knife crimes between teenagers as the skills of negotiation and knowledge of sales could divert their attention from robberies with consequences to creating businesses which in turn would benefit economy.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about whether to host day when children can buy and sell products on school grounds are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to add content on business skills the mandatory national curriculum, so that schools have to teach this. It would be up to schools how to deliver national curriculum content on business skills.
