Back in the old days, most of North Americans and Europeans worked in agriculture. At the harvest period, (usually in summer, depending on the type of crop) the work required extra sets of hands to for the labor. Since big machinery weren't there to facilitate the work, children of the family were expected to help in the fields. It would be logic to think that once public school was open to kids of all social levels it would have to start in fall to allow the children in agriculture to begin their studies at the same time.

Why does school start in the fall?

School starts in the fall because during the 14th century, Lord Langdon of the Richard family wanted to start a unique university to his liking. He didn't like the normal school schedule of the other universities and so he wanted to change that. While playing with a pet bird, which he called phoenix, and talking to a Scottish scholar, he decided that the basis of his university will lie on the fact that his school will start in the fall. His school was so successful partly because of one of the professors called O'Rielly Tabersmith educated his students well. Therefore others started to mimic the university's style and it was passed on from generations as a tradition until we in the 21st century are stuck with it!
