  Case: Superpower pills
I would like to have jars of candy, such as Mike & Ikes, Hot Tamales, ETC. to offer to kids before tests and assignments as "power-up pills". Is this acceptable? A good idea?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Many others have commented that the name should be changed and I agree. You can simply call them power ups! I would actually leave candy as rewards for good deeds or grades, but not in preparation for exams or larger assignments. I substitute at many title 1 schools and some children do not have access to healthy food. I would save these "power ups" for exam days and have an assortment of health bars available for students to choose from. These could be pricey, but if you have a Costco or Sam's Club near you that sells in bulk you could save money overall.
