Or get the kids a damn flashlight.

Up here near the arctic circle, we don't get stuff like "sunrise" and "sunset" for a good part of the year. It's just dark and less dark.

Kids walk/bike to school just fine.

Yep.. it's crazy how muricans seem to think everything has to be scheduled around taking and picking up kids to/from school.

Around where I live, kids take themselves to school or use a bus. School can start any time between 8:00 and 10:00, sometimes even later. School can end any time between 12:00 and 16:00. Parents don't need to schedule their work and life around it.
