A 13-year-old boy sent home for violating school rules after he got caught selling a squirt of sanitizer for 50p to fight coronavirus.
Oliver Cooper bought a bottle of Johnson’s hand wash for £1.60 while he was waiting for his school bus.
Initially, he offered his friends squirts of sanitizer for free but when a friend advised him to charge money for every squirt of sanitizer, he started selling it for 50p at Dixon’s Unity Academy in Leeds.
He made £9 in a day by selling a squirt of sanitizer for 50p to fight coronavirus.
However, he was sent back home when he got caught selling the squirts of sanitizer as it violated school rules.
Oliver’s mother Jenny Tompkins shared a post on Facebook criticizing Oliver’s father who called him “a f**king legend” after learning why his child had been expelled from the school.
The mother wrote: “This is a picture of my teenage son just getting in from school. Why is he getting in from school at 10:53am you ask? Schools don’t finish until 3pm.”
“Well the little turd has just been expelled from school for the day after being caught charging students 50p a squirt for hand sanitiser to protect themselves from b****y coronavirus!”
“Very hard to discipline this behaviour when his dad phones him from work to call him a f**king legend.”
When the teen was asked about being expelled from school for selling sanitizer, he said when he learned about the shortage of sanitizers, he decided to buy a bottle of Johnson’s hand wash while waiting for a bus.
He said he offered his friends for free but they advised him to make some cash by selling it for 50p.
He told: “Other people at school sell stuff like chewing gum, if somebody wants something, they will pay for it. Loads of people wanted this.”
Oliver told he has already spent the money he made by selling sanitizer on a multi-pack of Dorito’s and plans to buy a kebab later.
Oliver will be facing two-hour detention when he returns to school.
