I wathced a programme last night and i'm sure the kids were getting up at 6am for school, just made me wonder what time is usual to start and finish school in the states and is college the same ? in the UK the usual start is 9am and finish 3pm that should read Watched, as in saw, vieweed etc.... how's that work with students picking the schedule, surely they can only go to lessons when they are being held...or is this another question all together.

well college is typically 10am-2pm but your scheduling i totally up to you
2 :
Elementary, middle, and high school start at 8:00 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. College doesn't have a set schedule. The students pick their own schedule.

In rural areas some times the schools start as early as 7am (which would mean kids may get up as early as 6am.) This is often because a school system doesn't have enough school buses for all the schools (elementary/middle/high schools) to start at the same time. High school starts the earliest most of the time because that way older siblings can get home in enough time to watch the younger ones if their parents aren't home. In college it is completely different. Schedules are made by individual students and can be very variable.

For college it all depends on your schedule, because some people will sign up for later classes and what-not. My high school day was from 8 AM-2:40 PM. Most schools will start between 7:45-8:30 (some earlier, later) and end between 2:30-3:15 (also could be earlier or later). It all depends on the school, but that's how most American schools are.

It depends where people go to school in the US. For me, in high school, classes started at 8:10 a.m. and I got out at 3:00 p.m. I had 7 classes a day, and 2 semesters. For college, it all depends on the classes you take. I take 4 classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and they last from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. On tuesdays I take one class from 2:30 p.m.- 3:45 p.m. On Thursdays I have a class from 9:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m., plus my same one I take on tuesdays. I know some people in high school whose classes start at 7:00 a.m. Hope this info helps!

In my senior year in high school I had to be there at 7 am. Like I wasn't all ready unmotivated enough. Needless to say I was late alot

Most school in the US start at 8am and end at 3pm. Getting up at 6am to get read for school is not unusual here. Lots of kids around where I live have 30 minute to 1 hour bus rides to school, so that's one reason they have to get up so early. As for college, Classes are 1 to 1.5 hours long start sometime between 8am and noon. Then night classes start up at 6pm and run till 9pm. There are classes that start up at other times, just not very many.
