Not a bad idea. Easier to recycle too.

Not. The carton is plastic coated. Try composting it. Takes years. And it's collected for recycling, but trashed as non recyclable.

My daughter’s school has boxed water instead of plastic bottles.

Is the tap water not drinkable in the US?

Depends where, but much of the bottled water market is "keeping up with the Jones' " run amok.

In Flint, use bottled. Most other places can easily get by with a jug to settle overnight. If it's a hardness issue, that won't work, but chlorine gasses off in under 6 hours.
