A vending machine that can spit out 'books'

As the second largest city in New York State, Buffalo was once famous for the appearance of two presidents in history. At the same time, it is also a concentration of many higher education institutions and has a strong cultural atmosphere. However, with the rapid development of the electronic age, the reading experience of the new generation of students is declining with the day. For this reason, Buffalo educators are all trying to change this situation. Ansid Robinson is the assistant principal of a public elementary school. He is fully responsible for students' classroom management, extracurricular reading and ideological education. Once, in a book reading competition organized by the school, Principal Robinson was surprised to find that at least half of the students’ reading volume failed to meet the school’s regulations. These students either had no interest in reading at all, or were distracted. The energy is not focused on study, and some students are addicted to online games in class, unable to distinguish the boundary between reality and virtuality, and some students even burst out 'reading useless theoryIn today's increasingly developed Internet, electronic products are occupying people's living space with their unstoppable trend, taking away books from children. How can students return to extracurricular readings with a peaceful mind, grow up in reading, and find a better self in the book? Robinson and other school leaders racked their brains, hoping to find a good way to increase children's interest in reading. There are many vending machines on the streets of Buffalo. There are a wide range of goods in the large cabinets in the glass windows. People can buy their favorite items at will, just follow the prompts to complete the corresponding operations. While such vending machines are convenient, they are also very attractive to children. As long as they are children who go to coin shopping with their parents, most of them will actively ask to operate by themselves and love the products they get. Principal Robinson had an epiphany after seeing this scene: If you put books in a vending machine and let students browse through the window, they can buy with coins after they want to read quickly, so as to obtain reading and collection. Opportunity, to invest with a mind of curiosity and experimentation, may be better than compulsory passive reading. Once you have an idea, the next step is to implement it. After obtaining the school's consent, Principal Robinson contacted the merchant to purchase a vending machine, and mobilized the charitable forces in the society to raise donations, and raised a total of more than 1,000 US dollars worth of books suitable for students to read. On the first day of the trial sale, the students’ enthusiasm for onlookers was attracted. The sense of novelty gave the children the urge to read. Looking at the various books in the glass window, the children’s little curiosity was invisibly affected. Quietly aroused. According to school regulations, students can exchange the money they use to buy snacks into special 'gold coins, The machine will accurately spit out the books they want to read. In addition, in order to increase students’ interest in reading, the school has also formulated a series of preferential policies. For example, every month, a child will be randomly selected from students of all grades and awarded to him with a “library tour” and a vending machine. Reward of gold coins. This greatly stimulated the children's enthusiasm for participation. They are eager to try, and everyone hopes that they can be the luckiest one. Since the first automatic book vending machine settled in this public school in Buffalo, Principal Robinson has gradually achieved the desired effect. Books help students open a door to the future world, and you can see colorful and magnificent colors when you push the door. Reading can not only broaden your horizons, but also open up a new self. And the novel method of increasing students' interest in reading in the form of automatic book vending machines is undoubtedly successful and extremely creative, and this idea will inevitably benefit the children of Buffalo throughout their lives.
