Florida tried leaving the time at DST one year.

It was a problem because in the winter school kids were walking to their bus stops and standing around waiting for their buses in the dark.

There were some serious accidents so the experiment only lasted one winter.

The Florida situation can be resolved by simply having the schools change their hours so that the kids aren’t standing around waiting for a school bus in the dark.

What an utter load of nonsense!

Every kid north of the California/Oregon border spends a fair amount of the winter months travelling to school in the dark.

Where I spent my early school years, it was dark by 4 pm during the winter. In Alaska the kids are travelling both ways in poor light.

Then again, these are Florida kids we’re talking about...
