Fact is under EST by late fall millions of school,kids will be coming and going to school in the dark, so it serves some safety purpose.

Couldn’t they just as easily start school a half hour later?

Then change the start and end times of school...

I came across a study in the mid 90s that estimated the DST changes per year were about 20 billion $. That was about 1996... What is the cost now?

No it doesn’t. Sun time has always been good enough

They started the fiasco to try and save energy. It didn’t help. It makes no difference in Ag country where the day begins and ends with the sun.

If folks are all that worried about kids safely getting to school then change the time school starts and ends. Day Light Savings time is a joke
