Sure. More darkness in the morning means more kids getting run over on the way to school.
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. :)

This is an absolute truth. I was reminded of it yesterday while fueling the truck. Grandmother and a nice little girl pulled up. the kid was all excited about some kind of shoe that slide on the concrete and then wanted to help get gas. She didn’t do the receipt option and all the grandmother could do was bitch at her. Children that are raised by crass, crude, cruel and ignorant adults usually turn out the same way as the adults.
Most people should not have children. They aren’t qualified.
