> Turning clocks back is terrible for kids. A week of schooling is next to lost.

FWIW, my kids (~8yo, ~5yo) didn't even notice the time shift in the Netherlands let alone be affected by it. For adults, (me and my wife), it was a mild surprise. We first suspected that clock had gone bonkers only for me to realise the DST change. We were moving to a DST country from a non-DST one so the net effect for us was amusing, at best. Otherwise I don't remember any disruption to our schedule at all.

Maybe it's a big enough of disruption in the North America?




Preteens are bombproof, they will adapt to anything.

The problem is teenagers and up.

It's a huge disruption everywhere.

Yes, I've noticed my kids start time shifting themselves leading up to daylight savings. Similar ages.
