Since his teacher was 'old school' I had him ask if I could teach the children how to reload ammunition. To my surprise, she agreed. I explained ballistics to the children and how cartridges work and how guns work and how dangerous weapons are. We even went over all of the safety rules and what to do if you ever happen upon a gun-type stuff. It was neat. My son had a career/hobby day once last year (3rd grade).

Not having any children I don't know a whole lot about career day/tool day etiquette but my guess is there is probably a rule about not USING children to sell your MLM (multi-level marketing or as I like to call them ponzi scheme) wares. The next thing you know your child will be begging for Noni juice and you will have a glimpse into how that monstrous Tahitian Noni building in Utah County was constructed. Of course, I did have a 9th grade biology teacher who made us sell Amway bubble gum to raise money for a Biosphere 2000 (which I never saw, but I didn't sell a lot of gum, not even to myself - it was gross).
