That's a great question, Christina! In the United States, there isn't one single rule from the federal government that says when schools should close for summer break. Instead, schools across the country are organized into groups called "districts." Those districts have their own leaders, including administrators and superintendents. Those leaders make important decisions for schools in their district, including when schools close for summer break! ☀️

Thanks for your suggestion, Rachel! Artificial intelligence is definitely an important topic. People are learning new ways to use this powerful tech. They are also making new rules about AI.

Many people who work as voice actors went on strike party because they were worried about how AI would affect their jobs. You'll definitely see AI pop up again in future News-O-Matic stories as well! 🤖

Hey there, Eliana! It's certainly true that humans live on land and NOT in the water. However, Earth isn't just for humans! Oceans are important ecosystems for many different kinds of plants and animals. In fact, most of our world's waters remain unexplored by science. We still have a lot to learn about what's down there! 🌊👀🌊
