Isn't that just child labor?
It's child labour in much the same way as lemonade stands or thost things where American school kids sell magazines or candy bars or whatever.
It's legal child labour and there technically isn't anything legally wrong with this. Ethically, it's another story. I think if the kids want to sell merch with their art printed on it and keep the money, that's reasonable. The teacher just doing this without their permission and pocketing the profits is the problem here.
I believe at best, the teacher might be let go for breach of implied contract and maybe a lawsuit for damages could be entertained. Civil suits aren't really as prevalent or as "worth it" in Canada as they are down there in the US, especially where damage is more nebulous rather than concrete as in breaches of contract law, personal injury, or property damage,
