Should Kids Sell Leftover Candy From Halloween?

Lately, kids have been using Halloween as a way to sell their candy to make a profit for themselves. Should this be allowed to happen? Is it right?
I personally feel that it's not right and kids should not sell leftover candy from halloween in school. For one, rules and regulations are already set among many schools either forbidding it or limiting the amount and kind. Perhaps like at McArthur High School where candy and other snack foods are only accepted to be sold if a member of a club or class. There are also specific times when each club or class is allowed to do so. This happens to be a convenient method for this school that way everyone can make a significant amount of money without having to compete with others.
Kids also should not sell leftover candy because it can be unsafe. Some kids can be allergic or have other health issues pertaining either to the candy or the ingredients inside that can cause a huge problem between both kids and even their families.
Also, what if parents limit their child from eating sweets, mainly candy? Should we agree with rebellious children? The only way to be sure and safe is to avoid the situation all together.

It's That Time of Year Again...

Time for lots of scares, itchy wigs, over the top costumes, and best of all, lots of candy. But the only problem is- Halloween falls on a Monday this year.

Will that hurt or help your Halloween plans? Will overprotective parents put your one night of spooks and scares to a hault? Only time will tell.

Halloween is an interesting holiday within itsself, it was origionally called "Hallow's Eve", with the word "Halloween" not appearing until the 16th century.

It's also a picky holiday for certain religious people, for example, I have a few friends whose parents don't allow them to partake in any Halloween festivities because they think it's the "Devil's Day".

Whatever your take on this scary holiday may be, I hope every one has a wonderful one, whether it entails sitting at home watching horror movies, or visiting the neighbors for a sweet treat.
