A Triple Win

“The NVIV (Next Vista Inspiring Video) series of posts are written by Rushton Hurley and designed to provide students and teachers with fascinating discussion prompts.”

In A Triple Win, Rushton features a unique school where students pay school fees with plastic waste and they recycle the plastic into things like eco-bricks.

He gives the following prompts to accompany this video:

“What are some challenges in your community that seem quite different, but perhaps could be brought together in some creative way?”

What a unique way to get students invested in their education! I love the ways that older students are teaching and mentoring younger students. All of the students seemed to enjoy preparing the plastic bottles for future uses. After watching this video I wanted to know more. How were they paying the older students? Were there any behavior problems and how were they handled? How many students were in this school? What do the parents think about this?

Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
