9 months after the final change, it'll just be regular time and it'll no longer be early.

That kids will have to travel to school in the dark for the majority of the year, including in most cases standing around in the freezing cold at unlit bus stops?

Why are your stops unlit? I mean, that isn't due to the time, but a basic infrastructure failure. In some areas, though, a neighborhood will communally pay for a streetlight - you might be able to get some installed in your neighborhood.

I'll mention that kids here (Norway) walk to school in the dark and freezing weather. They stand at bus stops, too. Not a big deal.

It isn't so bad and you get used to it.

If I go much further north, I'm above the arctic circle and it gets even more extreme.

Daylight savings time, up here, doesn't help with light at all. It merely makes it easier to coordinate time with other European countries.

If we cared at all about the children, schools wouldn't start so early. Let's make this change and then mandate a later start time for all schools that get federal funding. That's what we'd do if we cared about the children.

What does that even mean?

When the clock changes, it feels one hour early because you were used to something different.

By eliminating clock time changes, it's just the time it is. No concept of "one hour early" anymore.

In my experience kids have superior night vision and rarely care about what temperature it is outside.

I don't care about kids or their bus stops. Also, just put some lights on them, then (the bus stops, or the kids, doesn't really matter).

yes, it is. you're already awake and unlikely to fall asleep at that point.

waking up for school is hard enough without the sun being up.
