Sure, but 6 months is nothing. I'm talking about years. If parents knew that in 5 years the times would change, they could adjust their work schedules over that timeperiod. Especially if everyone in the whole district knew, even the childless.

There is still a single point where you have to go from, say, starting work at 9am vs starting work at 7am. And a lot of jobs do not provide this flexibility at all.
