Sure. More darkness in the morning means more kids getting run over on the way to school. We have a kid killed going to school every year or two around my neck of the woods. It’s almost always in the morning.

And, for the record, I think public schools should be abolished anyway. They are a 19th century paradigm that outlived its usefulness in the early 21st century. They are absurdly expensive and grossly ineffective. The main reason people bristle at the idea is that they need the free daycare.
Truth is that, just as bad parents today tend to end up with poorly educated children, the same would happen if we abolished public schools. And the rest of the parents out there would use things like Kahnacademy.com, MIT and other free resources to teach their kids and get curriculum at a fraction of the price of public school, as well as the time commitment and all the other peripheral dollar expenses.
And most kids could reach the knowlege level of a typical high school graduate in ten years or less. Often significantly less.
No more school buses either. :)
Agreed. It's a bad idea.
start school an hour later?
everyone will adjust.

It’s not about daylight. It’s about impatient and careless drivers. That happens night or day.
..and it is thinking like this why we cannot get rid of the stupidity.
Sorry, but if the kid is old enough to walk to school, they should be smart enough to look for traffic.
Sounds like this time adjustment thing is really working then. Only two killed.
It is still dumb. Kids here get on in the dark anyway. Making it DST year round won’t make it any darker when they get on than dark already.
