Daylight Saving to be made permanent

Hey, what do you mean, you people?

This is for where I live. Imagine the left and right sides shifting up an hour. Yeah it would be dark until nearly 9am in Dec/Jan, but on the flip side it would be light until almost 6pm (instead of 5pm). Anyway...I have zero control over what will be decided, I'll find the benefits to either scenario, no point in grumbling.

Fast forward to when your kids are school aged.

If DST didn't exist, it would not be reinvented, and the shocked faces at anybody proposing it would be shockier than the shocked faces at those against the idea now.

Kids go to school too early. Known fact. Kids need more sleep.

As far as I can tell, the main reason the high school starts so ridiculously early is so that they can use the buses three times, once for each school. Having 16 year-olds go in at 7am is bloody stupid.

Read Walker's "Why We Sleep." Outstanding book.

Don't forget to fall back tonight!

I don't think this will happen. It would mean all kids going to school in the dark.
