I wish it stayed DST all year long.

Exactly.

Or push it up half an hour and leave it there.

This is one of my pet peeves -- the needless time change twice a year that was started as a phony solution to a phony problem.

The biggest problem is kids would be walking to school in the dark.

Wouldn't work for a lot of places. Even in the eastern portion of my time zone, it would be still be dark or nearly dark at 8:00am for several months a year. For people in western portions of time zones, it would be much worse, espcially the farther north you go. In Cleveland, the sun wouldn't rise in November - January until almost 9:00am.
