Anyone remember?
“Anyone remember?”
Nope.
We already got the Carter economy back..
Let’s have the no time change back too..
People also wore bell bottoms and watched sonny and cher. So what the hell did they know?
I was in the Marine Corps at the time.
We always awoke in the dark...............
I was teen. No I don’t remember it.
Barely.
Just start school later. Not rocket science.
DST dates back to the 1700 and Ben Franklin.
Kids died all over the country hit by cars, walking to school / waiting for busses in the dark.
Or lock in standard time instead of locking in daylight savings time.
If only we could get rid of conservatives, our poor planet’s axis would go back to its non-tilted state.
They don’t like DST?
Then make it standard time year round.
Just stop making people change their clocks twice a year.
It’s just another example of out of congtrol government.
Good article. I did not know this was already tried and failed for a variety of reasons.
Educators are so hide-bound that they can’t schedule school to begin at an appropriate time during the year?
I remember
A local farmer suddenly had his barn in a different time zone from his house 100 feet away
I was in the Marine Corps at the time.
We always awoke in the dark...............

Even with DST, in the middle of winter, anyone who commutes at 7am is in the dark. What is worse is that it’s dark at 5pm on the short days when many people are leaving work. It’s always a trade off.
It’s going to be dark for most people anyway. Darkness happens. DST is trying to hard to be cute and clever.
I remember it well. Didn’t like it.
I was a senior in high school. Don’t really remember it.
I remember. I can also remember taking a flashlight to the bus pickup spot a block away from my home. We were victims of the forced bussing experiment that only inflamed racial resentment.
Distinctly—was in HIgh School. Ariound the same time the school district tried the 45-15 plan for a year. Go to school 45 days and off for 15——stuydents in the class coiuld find themselvfes on different tracks as 25 percent of the students were always gone at any time It was a failure.
