Beyond the Border

I went to one of my partners blogs, maddie, and saw that she had some sources that helped her out a lot.
I went to the site http://www.solutionsabroad.com/a_schoolsmexico.asp
It gave a lot of general statistics that I think we will definitely share in our documentary.

Some information I found out:

1. The only schools that offer bi-lingual education are private schools, and these schools are only in the main cities of Mexico; Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey.
2. Children begin school at the age of 3 or 4, similar to the united states.
3. School beings usually around 8 and gets out between 2 & 3.
4. The Majority of schools require the students to wear a uniform every day.
5. Some schools, such as the American School Foundation, have a large population but it is very diverse. The student body is about 2400 and approximately 60% Mexican, 30% American and 10% from some 40 other countries.
