Y’all ready for summer break?
Summer vacation: a concept that developed around the mid 19th century. At the time, schools were mostly independently operated, with a summer and winter session. As education became more standardized into the 20th century, it was found that during the summer it was difficult to keep students cool in school buildings, and families from hotter climates migrated to areas with cooler temperatures. As a result, a standard summer vacation was created.
