"A Manchester school has suspended a 12-year-old boy for making \u00C2\u00A360 ($94) a day from selling chocolate, crisps and soft drinks to fellow pupils. Tommie Rose was initially warned and sent home for a day over his behaviour, but has continued to persist with his money-making scheme. He told Manchester Evening News: &amp;quot;I got the idea from watching Dragons&amp;#039; Den and feeling I could do something like that. &amp;quot;The school just sells water and dinners. I have been bringing in 80 chocolate bars, Lucozade [drinks] and Doritos [packs] each day and have been selling out.&amp;quot; Tommie revealed that he buys in bulk from discount stores before making a profit by selling them at higher prices at the school. The principal of Oasis Academy in Salford defended the suspension, saying: &amp;quot;The private selling of goods is not permitted, and any persistent breach of the code of conduct is dealt with firmly but supportively through parental engagement.&amp;quot; Tommie&amp;#039;s father Gary, 30, countered: &amp;quot;The way they have dealt with it is far too harsh. &amp;quot;I think he&amp;#039;s just showing a bit of business sense, and he shouldn&amp;#039;t be missing out on his education because of it.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; School issues 717 detentions in three days &amp;gt; Picture: World&amp;#039;s biggest chocolate bar "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
