im mexican and 90% of the kids go to school but a 10% work because mexico has economis problems but every year come people from center and south america

Both....most children are in school, but not all. Many children as young as 8 work partime . In the super market, children are allowed to work as baggers for tips for a certain number of hours a week, but they MUST show proof that they are attending school. Otehrwise, jobs are rare for kids under 16. Many work with their families. the MAJORITY of children who live in medium or larger size towns, attend school and do not work. There is financial help available in most places tohelp pay for uniforms and school supplies for children from poor families. To qualify for this help, the mothers must attend parenting, nutrition, and other classes in their neighborhood tohelp them learn how to care for their families even better.

They have schools, but some families are too poor to send their children, so the kids work or beg on the streets.

Both, neither, all of the above! Just like in the US there are rich, middle income, and poor. Kids from poorer families will work before or after school And they may have to drop out at an early age to help support the family. Same as in the US.

it's required that kids go to school until 6th grade.

after 6th grade you can continue to go to school or you can work, or just be lazy.
but some families are too poor so the kids leave school to work and help their families.

Some children have enough money to go to school. Others who do not have as much money have to work and beg for money. Though the percentage of children going to school over there is pathetic since most people are poor.

There are both sides to mexicans, the white people from mexico which all go to private schools and live well of, then they are the indians which are the poor people most of the children go to public schools, the ones that dont go to schoool usually work on the streets or the become criminals.
