Rafe Esquith: Teaching Kids The Value of Money and Ownership

Rafe Esquith's Bio and Speech Topics: http://www.thelavinagency.com/speaker-rafe-esquith.html

In this clip, Rafe Esquith -- one of America's most famous teachers and the author of 'Lighting Their Fires' -- discusses the importance of teaching children the value of ownership. Esquith has come up with what he calls a "classroom economic system", where he gives children 'jobs' in order to have them receive a 'paycheque' and pay 'rent' on their desks. He explains how this simple game has resulted in children understanding the value of money, becoming better class citizens, and feeling pride for the work they do in the classroom.
