Question

Mahalya Daye, 13, is an eighth-grader at Lamberton Middle School in Pennsylvania, USA. Every afternoon at nearly 2 o'clock, she runs to a store at her school. But she is not running to buy snacks. Instead, she works as the storekeeper.

“I didn't know that it took so much work. I've never really done something like this,” Mahalya said.

In fact, she is one of 12 volunteer staff members at Bison Bargains. It is the school's first store run (经营) by students. It started on Feb. 22, and it opens each school day during break time from 2 to 2:30 p.m. It mainly sells stationery (文具) and snacks.

The school wants to provide the students with a real-life business experience through this. Christian Ilg, 14, an eighth-grader, was really surprised by how hard it was not to make mistakes and do the transactions (交易). “It's kind of a challenge to learn all the information on the lists and remember all the prices of the products,” Christian said.

To learn about business, the students took a special class. They learnt how to use money and some simple business rules.

The school did a survey on what products students would buy from a school store. In the future, they plan to sell things made by the students themselves. For example, students can sell their homemade pencil boxes.
