I'm sorry if that seemed like a rejection of your effort. You gave me an example of a problem that it solved for you. I'm looking for an explanation of why it is, though, that Daylight Saving Time is the appropriate way to deal with that very real and understandable problem that you mention, kids going to school when it's light. I am not unwilling to sacrifice for a good cause. That's certainly a good cause. I think, though, that there's a cheaper and easier way to accomplish daylight schooling. What I'm asking is why it's better for everyone to have to adjust their schedules, a solution with enormous overhead, when you could accomplish your goals by just setting sensible school hours. I don't think that there is an answer so perhaps that's why you can't give me one. I'm guessing that "because we've always done it that way" will be the best that you can do and you realize that's not sufficient reason to warrant inconvenience and expense for the population at large.
