Need help to defend my business

[Alex Marsh]

Hi
As some of you know I have a sweet and chocolate business at my school. If you;ve read my article about it in my signature then you'll see that last year I was found out and told to stop but I carried on and it was only a prefect not anyone really important. But today the head of pastoral care and some other teachers confronted me about it, I don't know how they found out about it as I've tried my best to be unseen.
So they said that If I am caught again then I'll be in trouble. And the head of pastoral care has been expelling and suspending people for anything recently.
So the reason I made this thread is so that I can ask you for points that I can confront them with to help support my case for being a young entrepreneur and selling goods.
I already said these points :
I'm not selling what the tuck shop is selling ( explained in article)
They aren't losing money as people still buy form them
It's not illegal for me as there is no rule against it. (to which he replied , I'm telling you to stop)

And those were all I could think of on the spot.

There may be a student council starting and if i get some good points I'll either put mysself forward or ask whoever is my years representive so tell those points.

Thanks for any help. I really enjoy doing this business and is great experiance for the future. I don't think that the school should try to crush this, this will probally be the best and most important thing I get out of school. (maybe)

one thing you must figure out at some point, people in power typically wont listen or consider what you are saying, this is not because they dont want to its because the person above them is telling them what they are telling you. this isnt quite the answer you were looking for but from my personal experience no1 has had a change of heart even with the most valid reasons when there job is on the line.
