Correct, which is why the correct solution is to not have school start so bloody early.

For everyone not between the ages of 6 and 18, an extra hour of daylight in the evening is far more useful.

If school starting time get shifted, work starting times get shifted, and then you're right back where you started.

Except without everyone adjusting clocks and all the confusion that goes with it.

Parents have to get their kids off to school before work. Most people wake up by 7:30AM (you may not but the rest of the functioning world does) and need the Sun in the morning.

It also saves energy.
