As soon as you shift a big part of society, like kids going to school, much of the rest of society needs to shift to stay in sync. Congrats. You’ve just reimplemented a time shift but more chaotically.

I used to be in camp DST year round. Now I don’t really care because I mostly get up when I want which varies from day to day.



Is it a big part of society though? I would have though children walking to school is fairly independent to the rest of society that needed time-milestones.

Would we assume parents are walking their children to school, hence need to start work later? If that's the case, why does it matter how dark it is?


Most parents of young children are at least seeing them onto school busses if not dropping them off at school themselves themselves. Childcare has to similarly be synced up.

Personally I don’t care much these days but many do.
