Many American schools have been closed for summer.Most children, in the United States have a summer holiday for almost three months. This traditional school schedule was designed long ago when many Americans lived on farms. Children were needed at home during the summer to help their families with crops and animals. Schools later continued the tradition,mostly because it was difficult to hold classes in hot summer weather.
