text: can someone describe a typical school day in mexico compared to the united states? what time does school start and end? is it all year round. just anything basic. grade schools starts at 8 am and finishes at 1 pm, and it is basically the same, junior high and high school start at 7 am and finish at 1 pm too, the only difference i can see is maybe a little bit in the education, they go deeper in history and what happens around the world. besides that is basically the same, popular kids, non popular kids, geeks, weirdos, the same.
