It's a bizarre "con": Pros: better health, less accidents fewer deaths during the switch, etc. Cons: it's "hard" on some kids and parents to wait for the bus in the dark which they already do anyway, just now it's for a few more weeks.

Seems a no brainer.

Con: more accidents in winter time because it's harder to become awake if it's still dark than stay awake if ut becomes dark. More accidents of children if they have to walk to school or the bus. The pros refer only to the elimination of the switch but not to the permanent implementation of the DST. Standard Time would be the better choice.
