Your opinion on whether 8 a.m. is too early somewhat depends on your local time zone and clock change customs: see thousands of comments elsewhere!

However, 08:00 local astronomical time does seem too early and most European time zones are ahead of local astronomical time, sometimes ridiculously so, making 08:00 even earlier. So I don't disagree.

Had to look up astronomical time - assuming my understanding is right and you use "noon" to define the hours, I don't think it would really help in high latitude hours - no amount of temporal wiggling is going to stop kids from going to school in the dark and coming home in the dark as well.

Yes. You get about 7 hours of daylight on the shortest day at a latitude of 55°. So nearly all of the population of England could avoid going to/from school in the dark. But Scotland is another matter.
